Product Name
Escitalopram Oxalate
Description
Escitalopram Oxalate is a furancarbonitrile that is one of the selective serotonin uptake inhibitors used as an antidepressant. As a selective serotonin reuptake inhibitor (SSRI), escitalopram blocks the reuptake of serotonin by neurons in the central nervous system (CNS), thereby potentiating CNS serotonergic activity. The drug is also effective in reducing ethanol uptake in alcoholics and is used in depressed patients who also suffer from tardive dyskinesia in preference to tricyclic antidepressants, which aggravate this condition.
