A member asked:
Can i take sertraline and penicillin together will it make more of a chance to get steven-johnson syndrome?

Stevens-Johnson very rare (approx 1-2/million). Penicillin more common than Sertraline, but both still very rare. Taking together does not change the risk

Extremely unlikely that these two drugs could cause a severe and life threatening syndrome, assuming you have NO allergy to either.
