What painkiller are safe to take whilst on Sertraline?

[N_ova]

Need help managing period cramps. I’ve read Paracetamol is okay to take but not NSAIDs like Ibuprofen?

Hello N_ova

Thank you for your message and welcome to this group.

You are right in that you should avoid ibuprofen and other NSAIDS but you can use paracetamol with sertraline .

It may be best to see your doctor or a pharmacist as they may be able to advise you of what pain relief will be helpful.

There should be a PIL (patient information leaflet )with the sertraline.

These websites might also be useful.

Do let us know how you get on.

Best wishes

Took a paracetamol and everything was fine ^^ kept the pain away long enough for me to enjoy my movie at the cinema
