Drug Uses
Zoloft is a prescription medicine used to treat depression, panic disorder, obsessive-compulsive disorder (also called OCD) and posttraumatic stress disorder (also called PTSD) in adults. Zoloft is also used to treat OCD in children (ages 6-12) and adolescents (ages 12-17).
How Taken
Zoloft comes as a tablet to take it orally. It is usually taken once daily and may be taken with or without food. Take Zoloft exactly as directed. Do not take more or less of it or take it more often than prescribed by your doctor. Continue to take Zoloft even if you feel well. Do not stop taking Zoloft without talking to your doctor, especially if you have taken large doses for a long time. Your doctor probably will want to decrease your dose gradually. This drug must be taken regularly for a few weeks before its full effect is felt.

Q. In what way does the consultation online work?
A: Online consultations are the new breed in health care patient-to-physician communication. Under this procedure, patients do not have to have the usual physical exam by the doctor; instead the patient fills out an online medical history, and this questionnaire is then sent to the doctor through our secure order protocol. While online consultations will never replace traditional medicine, they are convenient for the patient that does not require a physical exam to receive the treatments they need.
