How it works

Escitalopram is a selective serotonin reuptake inhibitor (SSRI). It raises the amount of serotonin, a chemical messenger that affects mood and anxiety, available in the brain by slowing its re-absorption into nerve cells. Over several weeks this helps to lift mood and reduce anxiety and panic. It is not addictive, but the effect builds gradually rather than at once.

Depression: escitalopram treats major depressive episodes in adults, and in adolescents aged 12 and over in the USA.

Anxiety disorders: it treats generalised anxiety disorder and, in the UK, panic disorder with or without agoraphobia, social anxiety disorder and obsessive-compulsive disorder.

Usual daily dose: the 10 mg tablet is the standard dose in the UK and US labels and is the dose most people stay on. If it is not enough, the prescriber may raise it to 20 mg a day.

The UK product information describes 10 mg once daily for depression and for most anxiety disorders, which may be raised to a maximum of 20 mg a day. For panic disorder, treatment starts with 5 mg for the first week, then 10 mg. For people over 65, a starting dose of 5 mg and a maximum of 10 mg are described. The US label describes 10 mg once daily, up to 20 mg.

Taking 10 mg tablets: one 10 mg tablet once a day is the usual dose, taken at the same time each day with or without food. Do not increase the dose yourself. Higher doses can affect the heart rhythm. Always follow the leaflet in the pack and the advice of your prescriber or pharmacist.

Storage Instructions

Store the tablets in their original pack at room temperature, following any instructions on the pack. Keep out of the reach of children and do not use after the expiry date.

• Headache
• Difficulty sleeping or drowsiness
• Sweating
• Dry mouth
• Dizziness
• Diarrhoea or constipation
• Reduced sex drive or delayed ejaculation

Seek urgent medical help for thoughts of harming yourself, agitation with fever and sweating (serotonin syndrome), a fast or irregular heartbeat, fainting, unusual bleeding, seizures, severe confusion, or swelling of the face, lips or throat. Withdrawal symptoms such as dizziness, nausea and electric-shock sensations can occur if it is stopped suddenly.

• Thoughts of self-harm: antidepressants can increase thoughts of self-harm or suicide in young people and in the early weeks. The US label carries a boxed warning for children, adolescents and young adults.
• Do not stop suddenly: stopping abruptly can cause withdrawal symptoms. Your prescriber will reduce the dose gradually.
• Heart rhythm: escitalopram can affect the heart rhythm (QT prolongation) in a dose-related way. Tell your doctor about heart problems, low potassium or magnesium, or medicines that affect the heart rhythm.
• MAOIs and other serotonergic medicines: never use with an MAOI or within two weeks of stopping one. Use with caution with linezolid, tramadol, triptans, lithium and St John's wort.
• Bleeding risk: SSRIs can increase bleeding, especially with NSAIDs, aspirin and anticoagulants.
• Low sodium: low sodium can occur, mainly in older adults. Report confusion, headache or weakness.
• Mania, seizures and glaucoma: use with caution in bipolar disorder, epilepsy and narrow-angle glaucoma.
• Alcohol: alcohol is not recommended, as it can worsen mood and drowsiness.
• Pregnancy and breastfeeding: speak to your prescriber before use. Late pregnancy use can cause problems in newborns, and small amounts pass into breast milk.
• Allergy: do not use if you are allergic to escitalopram, citalopram or any ingredient.
• Driving: dizziness and drowsiness can occur. Do not drive or use machinery if you feel affected.
