🚨 Medication safety alert: New reports underscore the importance of recognizing serious symptoms of sertraline, a commonly prescribed depression pill. UK health services have listed several warning signs that might indicate a serious adverse reaction — including symptoms associated with serotonin toxicity.

📌 Important signs to be aware of include: agitation, sweating and fever, rapid heartbeat, muscle stiffness, and confusion. These can occur when serotonin levels rise too high — often when starting treatment, adjusting doses, or combining medications that affect serotonin.

🔹 What to do:
• If you notice any concerning symptoms, contact your healthcare provider or pharmacist right away.
• Never stop or change medication without professional guidance. Read the full article at https://www.mirror.co.uk/news/health/nhs-sertraline-alert-5-symptoms-36695114.
