Citalopram

Citalopram (Citalopram Hydrobromide) is categorized as a selective serotonin reuptake inhibitor (SSRI) antidepressant. Medical research has demonstrated that it works by inhibiting the uptake of 5-HT (serotonin). It is also indicated for the treatment of panic disorder, occurring either with or without agoraphobia.

Treatment with this medicine aims to combat depression, and by selectively inhibiting the reuptake (reabsorption) of serotonin, it can help to boost the mood while also relieving feelings of panic and depression. It also exhibits little or no effects on the uptake of other neurotransmitters. A considerable amount of medical studies have been carried out to examine its efficacy in the treatment of premature ejaculation.

Citalopram (Citalopram Hydrobromide) is provided in the form of 20mg strength tablets, and they are administered by mouth. Your doctor will decide upon the required dosage, and it will be necessary for you to comply with the instructions given. Adults are sometimes told to start out with 20mg per day. If the doctor feels that it is needed, the dosage may be increased. However, never take more than your doctor instructs you to take.

Treatment of depression or any other disorders with Citalopram (Citalopram Hydrobromide) tablets could lead to side effects, which may include:

• Fatigue
• Drop in appetite
• Reduction in libido
• Delay in ejaculation time
• Dry sensation inside the mouth

You must tell the doctor about any side effects that occur, even if they are only mild. Reactions of a serious nature will necessitate medical attention right away. Examples of this include severely stiff muscles, fever, slurring of speech, cramping in the muscles, abnormal reflexes and others that have not been mentioned here.

If you notice any signs indicating that your symptoms may be worsening while undergoing treatment with Citalopram (Citalopram Hydrobromide) you should immediately consult your physician. These may include aggression, restlessness and suicidal thoughts.

A serious and dangerous drug reaction is possible if an MAO inhibitor (a type of medicine) has been administered in the previous 14 days, or if taken alongside this medicine. Your physician will require you to disclose all medicine you are currently taking, as well as those which have been taken recently. An MAO inhibitor must also not be taken for a certain period of time after you stop treatment with this antidepressant. Discuss this with your physician.
