Escitalopram as a medication for depression - discussion
Escitalopram, brand names Lexapro and Cipralex among others, is an antidepressant of the selective serotonin reuptake inhibitor (SSRI) class. It is approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for the treatment of adults and children over 12 years of age with major depressive disorder (MDD) and generalized anxiety disorder (GAD). Escitalopram is the (S)-stereoisomer (enantiomer) of the earlier Lundbeck drug Citalopram, hence the name escitalopram. More: en.wikipedia.org.
