Do Milk Products Interfere With Zoloft Medication?
Do milk products interfere with the med. Zoloft? My grandson is 14 and has Asperger s and Autism and his psychiatrist has him on 50 mg. of Zoloft once daily. He has been taking it in liquid form because he can t swallow pills, and takes it with yogurt, but the last time his prescription was filled, at the same pharmacy, as usual, the pharmacist said it shouldn t be taken with milk products. He has been on different doses of the medication for about 3 years, now, and no one has ever said anything about this before. I am his grandmother and just wonder if milk is hindering the effect of the medicine. Thank you for you help in this matter. Sincerely, Bonnie English

Hello and Welcome
I appreciate your concern
No, Zoloft is not affected by milk significantly. One can space the medication at an interval though food doesn't alter its absorption significantly.
wishing you best of health
thanks
