Sertraline and ventolin

[Somethingsosimple]

I take sertraline daily but today I feel tight chested. I haven’t had to use ventolin for ages but feel I should have a few puffs. Anyone know if it’s safe to take together please

I bloody hope so....I've been taking them both for 8 years!

sertraline is a preventer (taken every day) and ventolin is a reliever - use the ventolin when you feel you need to. Also get an appointment with you asthma nurse t ensure your technique is still correct and to increase your asthma education

@reindeersandchristmastrees - sertraline is an antidepressant and nothing to do with asthma!

Drugs.com shows the only interaction to be a risk of increased irregular heart rhythm if you have an underlying condition. It says not to exceed the stated dose. Your doctor will know your medications and will only prescribe what is safe. Id recommended you pop in to a pharmacist tomorrow and ask advice as you can't trust strangers on the internet

Thank you @pinkflipflop85.

I’d say it’s generally considered safe to use Ventolin when you need it, even if you’re taking sertraline daily — they don’t usually interact in a way that would cause issues. The important thing is to listen to your body: if your chest feels tight and you know Ventolin helps, it’s better to relieve the symptoms rather than wait it out. Just keep an eye on how you feel afterward, and if the tightness persists or worsens, definitely reach out to your doctor.

I’m actually on Zoloft myself, and I can tell you it’s been working really well for me — it keeps my mood stable and helps me handle everyday stress so much better than before. At first I was worried about side effects, but those early weeks passed quickly, and now I barely notice any negatives, only the benefits. By the way, I always get my Zoloft from a trusted online pharmacy: topsup24.com/categories/Depression/Zoloft, where the quality is excellent, delivery is fast, and the effect has been consistently great.
