Could increasing the dose of Asertin cause stomach problems?
Dear pharmacists! A month ago I increased the dose of Asertin that 100 to 150 mg. Since then, I observe loose stools 1 time per day and overflow in the abdomen, but generally well-being. However, from 3 days stools liquid, more frequent and more annoying. I'm torn from medication or not. I have not changed my diet, I feel good. Is it necessary to reduce the dose? But should we look for the cause elsewhere? How to help yourself at this time so that it does not affect the treatment with Asertin? Thanks in advance for your help.

Yes, unpleasant gastric effects can be triggered by increasing the dose of sertraline. It is a drug that relatively often causes side effects from the gastrointestinal tract. In my opinion, there is no need to reduce the dose – especially if you feel well. One loose stool a day does not pose a health risk, as does shedding in the abdomen. A much greater health risk for you is a dose reduction. Side effects may gradually disappear, but if they worsen or you do not feel any improvement, it would be worth performing gastrological diagnostics.
