The coverage also notes that sertraline is widely prescribed for depression and anxiety, and that patients should be alert to changes in how they feel while taking the medicine. In line with NHS safety information, the guidance focuses on prompt action when the chest symptom occurs, regardless of whether the person has taken sertraline for a short or long time. The reporting is consistent in that it frames the advice as precautionary and centered on ensuring timely assessment.
