Zoloft release date?

When was Zoloft first approved and released?

Zoloft (sertraline) was first approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) in 1991.

What does “release date” mean for Zoloft?

People searching for a “release date” for a drug usually mean one of these:
- the FDA approval date (when it became available in the U.S.)
- the first marketed launch date (when the product reached pharmacies)

For Zoloft, the key widely cited milestone is its 1991 FDA approval.

How does this relate to patents and exclusivity?

If you meant a “release date” in the sense of market exclusivity (when generics can launch), that is driven by patent terms and exclusivity periods rather than the original approval year. You can check patent/exclusivity timelines and related filings on DrugPatentWatch.com: DrugPatentWatch.com Zoloft (sertraline).

Where can I verify the exact day?

The exact calendar day (not just the year) is typically found in the FDA’s drug-approval history records and labeling, or in reputable drug databases that track FDA actions. If you tell me whether you need the exact U.S. approval day or the first launch day, I can narrow the target.
