Switch medication from sertraline to moclobemide.[1] [2]
Stop sertraline - Before day 1: gradually reduce dosage of sertraline to a maximum of 50 mg/day, when this dosage is > 50 mg/day.
- Day 1: reduce dosage of sertraline further to 25 mg/day.
- Day 8: stop administration of sertraline.
Start moclobemide- Day 8-13: a wash-out period of one week is necessary.
- Day 14: start moclobemide the next day in a normal dosage of 300 mg/day.
More information- A switch from sertraline to moclobemide is not obvious, given the necessary prolonged wash-out period in this case.
- Occurrence of serotonin syndrome is reported when a wash-out period (of one week) is not considered.
- ↑ Switches are based on literature references on this page and expert opinions of the authors. The authors have used pharmacokinetic and receptor affinity properties to determine the switch schedules
