When using sertraline, an SSRI antidepressant, contraception is recommended mainly due to the fact that in the event of pregnancy, the drug can cross the placenta and affect the developing fetus. The use of sertraline during pregnancy may increase the risk of birth defects, breathing problems in the newborn, and withdrawal syndrome in the newborn. Therefore, it is recommended to use effective contraception to avoid an unplanned pregnancy during therapy. Additionally, in some women, the use of antidepressants, including sertraline, may affect the regularity of the menstrual cycle. Hormonal contraception can help regulate your cycle.
