What the interaction means

NCCIH's probiotics page's only medication-related discussion anywhere is research on reducing antibiotic-associated diarrhea, and does not mention sertraline. Sertraline's FDA label names an extensive drug-interaction list (MAOIs, pimozide, other serotonergic agents, anticoagulants/antiplatelets, CYP2D6 substrates, and more) -- probiotics are not among them.

No documented interaction between Probiotics and Sertraline was identified in the authoritative sources reviewed. This is not a guarantee that no interaction exists for every dose, formulation, or individual -- it means the sources checked did not document one.

Practical context

NCCIH's probiotics page and sertraline's FDA label were checked directly, full text, in both directions. Sertraline is not an antibiotic, so probiotics' one documented medication-related finding does not apply here.
