Zoloft (Sertraline) has been available since early 1992. It is similar to Prozac, but the principal metabolite is substantially less active than the parent compound as an inhibitor of serotonin re-uptake. The half-life of Zoloft and its metabolite is considerably shorter than that of Prozac.

Zoloft is available in capsule and oral concentrate forms. To prepare Zoloft oral concentrate, use the dropper provided. Measure out the amount of concentrate prescribed by your doctor and mix it with 4 ounces of water, ginger ale, lemon/lime soda, lemonade, or orange juice. (Do not mix the concentrate with any other type of beverage.) Drink the mixture immediately; do not prepare it in advance for later use. At times, a slight haze may appear after mixing, but this is normal.
