Citalopram hydrochloride

Description:

Citalopram hydrochloride is a selective serotonin reuptake inhibitor (SSRI) primarily used as an antidepressant in the treatment of major depressive disorder and anxiety disorders. It is characterized by its chemical formula, which includes a bicyclic structure that contributes to its pharmacological activity. The substance appears as a white to off-white crystalline powder and is soluble in water, making it suitable for oral administration in tablet or liquid form. Citalopram acts by increasing serotonin levels in the brain, which helps improve mood and alleviate symptoms of depression. Its pharmacokinetics involve absorption, metabolism primarily in the liver, and excretion through urine. Common side effects may include nausea, dry mouth, and fatigue, while more serious risks can involve serotonin syndrome or withdrawal symptoms upon discontinuation. Due to its potential interactions with other medications, it is essential for patients to consult healthcare providers before starting treatment. Overall, Citalopram hydrochloride is a widely prescribed medication with a well-established efficacy and safety profile in managing depressive and anxiety disorders.
