Relatively and safer than others. SSRI’s (the class of drugs sertraline is part off) remain among the preferred antidepressants in elderly. They still have potential for life threatening side effects and a thorough discussion of risk benefit ratio as well as possible drug-drug interactions should take place with prescriber and/or pharmacist.
