Citalopram

Description:
Citalopram is a selective serotonin reuptake inhibitor (SSRI) primarily used as an antidepressant in the treatment of major depressive disorder and anxiety disorders. Its chemical formula is C20H21FN2O, and it features a bicyclic structure that includes a phenyl ring and a piperazine moiety. Citalopram acts by increasing serotonin levels in the brain, which helps improve mood and alleviate symptoms of depression. The substance is typically administered in oral form and is known for its relatively favorable side effect profile compared to older antidepressants. Common side effects may include nausea, dry mouth, and sexual dysfunction. Citalopram is metabolized in the liver, and its pharmacokinetics can be influenced by genetic factors and interactions with other medications. It is important to note that, like other SSRIs, citalopram may carry a risk of withdrawal symptoms if discontinued abruptly. As with any medication, it should be used under the guidance of a healthcare professional to ensure safety and efficacy.
