How it works

This product’s leaflet is published as a scanned document. This section quotes the US prescribing label for the same active substance (escitalopram). It describes the substance, not this Bulgarian product — its uses and doses can differ.

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).

The shape is a standard model drawn from the two times above, not a measurement. How fast a medicine acts and wears off also depends on the dose, the form and the person.
How the body breaks it down

Escitalopram is metabolized to S-DCT and S-didemethylcitalopram (S-DDCT).

With food

Absorption of escitalopram is not affected by food.
