How it works
From the US prescribing label for the same active substance (escitalopram). It describes the substance, not this exact product.
The mechanism of antidepressant action of escitalopram, the S-enantiomer of racemic citalopram, is presumed to be linked to potentiation of serotonergic activity in the central nervous system (CNS) resulting from its inhibition of CNS neuronal reuptake of serotonin (5-HT).
Escitalopram is metabolized to S-DCT and S-didemethylcitalopram (S-DDCT).
Absorption of escitalopram is not affected by food.
