  • Description

    Escitalopram is an antidepressant that serves as the active enantiomer of Citalopram, functioning as a selective serotonin reuptake inhibitor (SSRI). Serotonin acts as a neurotransmitter, facilitating the transmission of nerve signals between neurons. This neurotransmitter is attributed to regulating mood and fostering a sense of well-being. Individuals experiencing depression typically showcase lower levels of serotonin. SSRI medications such as escitalopram hinder the reuptake process, ensuring an abundance of serotonin availability in the brain to enhance mood. This alleviates the symptoms of depression. While escitalopram is generally safe and effective, it is crucial to note that it is a prescription medication. Medical supervision is required for usage, and medical professionals must determine the appropriate dosage for each individual to ensure that the benefits outweigh any potential risks.

  • In case of Overdose

    Escitalopram is a medicine that is commonly used to treat depression and anxiety. It belongs to a group of drugs called selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs), which work by increasing the level of a chemical called serotonin in the brain. Serotonin is known to contribute to feelings of well-being and happiness, therefore, increasing its levels helps to alleviate symptoms of depression and anxiety. It is important to note that overdoses of escitalopram are rare, but if a substantial amount is ingested, it could lead to several symptoms such as blurred vision, dizziness, and seizures. Should an overdose occur, it is crucial to seek immediate medical attention to ensure the best possible treatment. The majority of prevention of such incidents lies in taking the medication safely and adhering to the prescribed guidelines.

  • Missed Dose

    Maintaining a consistent level of escitalopram in your bloodstream is essential for the medication to work effectively, and the best way to achieve this is by taking it at the same time each day. If you miss a dose, the steps to take depend on how long it has been since the missed dose. If it has been a few hours, you should take the dose as soon as possible. If it has been less than 12 hours, you can take the missed dose, but if more than 12 hours have passed, skip the missed dose and resume your regular schedule. Never take more than one dose at a time to make up for a missed one, as this can increase the risk of side effects. If you are unsure or concerned, always consult your doctor or pharmacist for guidance tailored to your individual circumstances. The best way to avoid missing a dose is to follow the dosing schedule carefully and take your medication at the same time every day. Remember, this information is meant to provide you with general guidelines, and it should not replace the specific instructions given to you by your doctor or pharmacist.

  • How To Use

    Before starting Escitalopram, be sure to read the medication guide provided by your pharmacist. This medication is usually taken once daily, with or without food, and it's important to take it at the same time each day. If you don't see an improvement in your symptoms or if they get worse, contact your healthcare provider. Escitalopram may take several weeks to become fully effective, so it's important to continue taking it, even if you feel well. Stopping suddenly could result in withdrawal symptoms such as nausea, dizziness, and anxiety. Be sure to store Escitalopram in a secure place, as it can lead to overdose. Some common side effects include dry mouth, blurred vision, and constipation. If you experience any severe or ongoing side effects, it's important to contact your healthcare provider. If you miss a dose, take it as soon as you remember, but if it's close to the next dose, skip the missed dose and resume your regular schedule. Do not double up to catch up on a missed dose.It's important to inform your doctor about all other medications you are taking, including over-the-counter drugs and supplements, as Escitalopram may interact with certain substances. This medication is usually prescribed for short-term use, so consult with your doctor before stopping use, as they may want you to reduce the dosage gradually to prevent withdrawal symptoms. If you experience an adverse reaction or emergency, search for medical help immediately. These directions are general and may not be suitable for everyone, and consulting with a medical professional or pharmacist is always advisable when starting a new medication.
