Escitalopram Overview

Escitalopram, known as Cipralex in Canada and Lexapro in other regions, is a medication primarily used to treat depression and anxiety disorders. It belongs to a class of drugs called selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs), which work by increasing the levels of serotonin in the brain. Serotonin is a neurotransmitter that plays a crucial role in regulating mood, social behavior, appetite, and sleep. By enhancing serotonin levels, Escitalopram helps improve mood and alleviate symptoms of depression and anxiety.

Benefits

Escitalopram is effective in treating major depressive disorder (MDD), generalized anxiety disorder (GAD), and obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD). It helps improve mood, reduce anxiety, and enhance overall well-being. Patients often experience a gradual improvement in symptoms over several weeks of treatment.

How to Use

Take Escitalopram exactly as prescribed by your doctor, usually once daily. It can be taken with or without food. Swallow the tablet whole with water; do not chew or break it. If you miss a dose, take it as soon as you remember unless it is close to the time for your next dose. Do not double up on doses. Consistent use over several months is typically required to notice significant improvements.

Possible Side Effects

Common side effects include:

  • Lowered interest in sex
  • Trouble sleeping
  • Dry mouth
  • Heartburn
  • Diarrhea or constipation

If these effects persist or worsen, consult your healthcare provider. Rare but serious side effects include confusion, irregular heartbeats, dizziness, convulsions, and shortness of breath. Seek medical attention if you experience these. Report any unusual side effects to your healthcare provider.

Warnings and Precautions

Escitalopram should not be used by individuals under 12 years old. Do not take it if you are allergic to any of its ingredients. If you are pregnant or planning to become pregnant, discuss the risks and benefits with your doctor. Always inform your healthcare provider of any other medications you are taking to avoid potential interactions.

Storage

Store Escitalopram at room temperature, away from moisture and heat. Keep it out of reach of children and pets.
