  • Description

    Escitalopram is an antidepressant that belongs to the selective serotonin reuptake inhibitor (SSRI) class of drugs. It is composed of the S-enantiomer of citalopram, which provides it with unique properties. Serotonin is a neurotransmitter that helps regulate emotional balance, mood stability, appetite, sleep cycles, and social behavior. Escitalopram helps alleviate symptoms of depression and anxiety by inhibiting the reuptake of serotonin in the brain. This mechanism of action increases serotonin levels in the neural synaptic gaps, enhancing its presence in the brain's nerve junctions. By boosting mood and promoting a sense of calmness, Escitalopram helps restore serotonin levels, providing relief from symptoms such as sadness, irritability, and a lack of interest in enjoyable activities. The increased serotonin levels triggered by Escitalopram can help alleviate depressive moods, anxieties, and a negative cognitive frame of mind. Escitalopram takes time to manifest its full effects since it aims to achieve a balanced serotonin level.

  • Missed Dose

    Maintaining a regular medication schedule for Escitalopram is vital, as it ensures the treatment stays effective. If you miss a dose, take it as soon as possible, but if it's almost time for the next dose, skip the missed one and continue with the regular schedule. Doubling up on Escitalopram should only be done under a doctor's guidance. In case of a missed dose, always consult a healthcare professional for safe and effective medication advice specific to your case.

  • How To Use

    Before starting Escitalopram, be sure to read the medication guide provided by your pharmacist. It is important to understand the potential side effects of the medication. If you have any concerns, speak to your doctor or pharmacist. Escitalopram is intended for once-daily use, preferably in the morning. This helps manage anxiety and depression throughout the day. Remember to take it at the same time every day to develop a routine. Instead of crushing, breaking, or chewing the tablet, swallow it whole with water. If swallowing is an issue, you may use food to help, provided it doesn't interfere with the tablet's effectiveness. If you experience stomach irritation, taking it with food may help. If you miss a dose, take it as soon as you can. If your next dose is approaching, skip the missed dose and stay on your regular schedule. Do not take more to catch up. Store Escitalopram at room temperature in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight and heat. When taking this medication, be careful when driving or operating machinery. Escitalopram may cause dizziness or drowsiness. Inform your doctor if you experience any changes in mood or behavior, including suicidal thoughts.

If you have questions or concerns about your treatment plan, speak to your doctor or pharmacist.
