  • Description

    Escitalopram is a type of antidepressant that acts as a selective serotonin reuptake inhibitor (SSRI). It increases serotonin levels in the brain by preventing the reabsorption of serotonin into sending neurons. This process allows serotonin to remain in the synaptic gap between neurons, extending its effect on the receiving neuron, and alleviating symptoms of depression and enhancing feelings of well-being. It can take several weeks for Escitalopram to manifest its full effects since neurons gradually adjust their serotonin receptor levels. While the drug's half-life is about 27 hours and primarily clears the body quickly, its active metabolite has a longer half-life of about 11 hours.

  • Missed Dose

    Maintaining a regular medication schedule for drugs like Escitalopram is important because it helps guarantee the treatment stays effective. If you miss a dose, take it as soon as you remember, but if it is almost time for your next dose, skip the missed dose and return to your regular schedule. Avoid doubling up on doses to make up for the missed one, because this can result in an increased risk of side effects. If you have any doubts or concerns about missing a dose, contact your doctor or pharmacist to clarify any possible doubts and to guide you on how to proceed.

  • How To Use

    Before starting escitalopram, inform your doctor or pharmacist if you have had thoughts about hurting yourself, struggle with alcohol abuse, have a history of allergies to antidepressants, have heart, kidney, liver problems, glaucoma, or take other medications, vitamins, or herbal supplements. Escitalopram can make you sunburn more easily, so avoid sunlight and UV lamps for at least a year while taking this medication. Be aware of taking escitalopram with medications that cause drowsiness as it can worsen the effect. To take escitalopram, swallow the tablet whole with a glass of water; do not crush or chew the tablet. If you miss a dose, take it as soon as you remember. If it's near the time of the next dose, skip the missed dose and take the next dose at the regular time. You may need to take escitalopram for several weeks before you feel better, so don't stop taking it without talking to your doctor first. If you stop taking escitalopram suddenly, you may experience withdrawal symptoms such as nausea, dizziness, and nervousness. Please follow the instructions of your medical professional and only stop taking medications when advised to do so by your doctor.
