Citanew 10mg Tablet 14s

Escitalopram is a type of antidepressant that acts as a selective serotonin reuptake inhibitor (SSRI). It increases serotonin levels in the brain by preventing the reabsorption of serotonin into sending neurons. This process allows serotonin to remain in the synaptic gap between neurons, extending its effect on the receiving neuron, and alleviating symptoms of depression and enhancing feelings of well-being. It can take several weeks for Escitalopram to manifest its full effects since neurons gradually adjust their serotonin receptor levels. While the drug’s half-life is about 27 hours and primarily clears the body quickly, its active metabolite has a longer half-life of about 11 hours.
