The Effects Of Selective Serotonin Reuptake Inhibitor (Sertraline) On Premenstrual Tension Syndrome
Journal Title: Obstetrics Gynecology and Reproductive Sciences - Year 2018, Vol 1, Issue 2
Abstract
Background: Premenstrual dysphoric disorder (PMDD) is a severe form of premenstrual syndrome (PMS). Aim: To examine the effect of selective serotonin reuptake inhibitor (sertraline) on electroencephalographic (EEG) patterns, and clinical manifestations in females with PMS. Materials and Methods: This prospective observational study was conducted on 200 females. Patients will be subdivided into two groups: Group A (control): includes 80 normal females and Group B consists of 120 patients with PMS. Patients with PMS were given sertraline 50 mg/day orally, initiated 14 days before the expected onset of menses and discontinued the day menses began. Results: We found that sertraline has no substantial effects on EEG findings, simply it relieved the clinical symptoms. Conclusions: We recommend use of SSRIs in the treatment of PMS
