Is Sertraline A Good Alternative Of Zoloft?
evidently zoloft is in short supply both by mail order and at my local pharmacy. I have been switched to the generic. Years ago I tried the generic and it did not work. Now I am being told that the generic Sertraline is the same as Zoloft. What gives?

Thanks for your question on Healthcare Magic.
I can understand your concern.
Zoloft is brand name. It carries sertraline as an active molecule (drug).
Generic drugs are available by the name of active molecules (drugs).
So basically, Zoloft and sertraline are same.
Yoi can take generic sertraline instead of branded Zoloft.
Both are same. No need to worry for this.
Hope I have solved your query. I will be happy to help you further. Wish you good health. Thanks.
