About escitalopram

Escitalopram is a selective serotonin reuptake inhibitor, or SSRI. Doctors prescribe it for depression and certain anxiety-related conditions. It can take several weeks for symptoms to improve. Your clinician should review your response and decide the appropriate treatment plan.

Serolex-20: important precautions

Follow your prescription and the leaflet supplied with your medicine. Tell your doctor about other medicines, heart rhythm problems, epilepsy, bleeding disorders, pregnancy or breastfeeding. Do not stop escitalopram suddenly; a clinician should guide any gradual reduction.

Possible side effects include nausea, headache, sweating, dizziness and changes in sleep or sexual function. Avoid driving if you feel sleepy or dizzy. Seek urgent medical help for a severe allergic reaction, fainting with an irregular heartbeat, or thoughts of self-harm. These examples do not replace the complete safety information in your leaflet.
