Treatment of depression (major depressive disorder) and anxiety disorders such as generalized anxiety disorder, panic disorder, social anxiety disorder and obsessive-compulsive disorder, as prescribed.

Escitalopram is a selective serotonin reuptake inhibitor (SSRI). It increases serotonin levels in the brain by inhibiting its reuptake into nerve cells, helping improve mood and reduce anxiety symptoms.

Tablet for oral use. Take exactly as prescribed, usually once daily at the same time each day, with or without food. Swallow with water; do not stop suddenly without medical advice.

Prescription medicine. Do not discontinue abruptly (withdrawal symptoms). May increase suicidal thoughts/behavior in children, adolescents and young adults especially early in treatment; monitor mood changes. Risk of serotonin syndrome (agitation, fever, sweating, tremor) especially with other serotonergic drugs. May cause hyponatremia/SIADH (more in elderly/diuretics). Use caution in seizure disorders, bipolar disorder/mania, bleeding disorders, liver impairment and glaucoma. Can affect ability to drive if drowsy/dizzy. QT prolongation risk is lower than some SSRIs but caution in existing heart rhythm issues and with QT‑prolonging drugs.
