  • Description

    This drug contains Escitalopram; a potent selective serotonin reuptake inhibitor (SSRI), 5-HT (5-hydroxytryptamine, serotonin) transporter (SERT) mediates the reuptake of 5-HT from the synaptic cleft into the neuron, and inhibition of this uptake is the target of selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs) like Escitalopram. Escitalopram is an active isomer of citalopram, binds to the sodium-dependent serotonin transporter protein (SERT) located in the presynaptic neuron. SERT reuptakes serotonin from the synaptic cleft to the presynaptic neuron. Escitalopram Inactivates SERT, as a result amount of serotonin is increased in the synaptic cleft. Serotonin or 5-hydroxytryptamine (5-HT) are involved in modulating a wide range of human behavioral processes, including mood, perception, memory, appetite, fear, anger, aggression, stress response, addiction, and sexuality. So by establishing normal levels of 5-HT; escitalopram treats; major depressive disorder (MDD), generalized anxiety disorder (GAD), and other psychiatric disorders such as obsessive-compulsive disorder. It has superior efficacy and faster onset compared to other SSRIs.
