Question

What is the maximum dosage of Sertraline that a child can take?

Answer

There have been reports of pediatric patients using up to 1200mg and even 1400mg of Sertraline, however, the prescribed dosage typically ranges from 750mg per day. The actual dosage should be adjusted according to the severity of the patient’s symptoms and should follow medical instructions; it should not be increased or decreased on one’s own. Moreover, when treating children with mental illnesses, general treatment should be considered, and parents should use regular methods to help children recover quickly to avoid affecting their growth and development. Therefore, it is recommended that after a child’s illness occurs, parents should help them recover as soon as possible.
