Abstract:
Control trials show that fluoxetine is effective in Eating Disorders, particularly in bulimia
nervosa. Despite the relative paucity of evidence other selective serotonine reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs)
than fluoxetine are commonly used to treat bulimia nervosa in clinical practice. Sertraline is one of the
SSRIs being used in Eating Disorders with binging and purging behaviours. Available evidence show
promising data about the effect of sertraline on eating disorder’s psychopathology, but there seem to
be contrasting data about sertraline’s effect on body weight.
