What are the differences between white and orange sertraline?

The core difference between white and orange sertraline tablets lies in their specifications, manufacturing processes, or brand names. The active ingredient in both is sertraline, with identical pharmacological effects and indications. The differences are only in appearance and dosage strength.

White and orange sertraline tablets often come in different strengths—white tablets may be 50 mg per tablet, while orange ones may be 100 mg per tablet—meeting varying dosage requirements for different patients. For example, lower doses may be used initially during treatment, with a switch to higher doses once the condition stabilizes.

Differences may also arise from brand or manufacturer variations. Different manufacturers may use distinct formulation techniques or excipients, resulting in different tablet colors. However, these excipients do not affect the drug's efficacy. It is important only to follow medical instructions regarding dosage and avoid switching brands without consultation.

When taking the medication, always confirm that the dosage matches your prescription. Stick to a consistent brand to prevent confusion due to differing specifications. Take the tablet with lukewarm water, do not adjust the dose on your own, and monitor your body's response during regular treatment. Maintain a light diet and regular sleep schedule.
