Citalopram

Citalopram is a prescription medication used to treat depression and other mood disorders. It belongs to a class of drugs known as selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs), which work by increasing the levels of serotonin in the brain. Serotonin is a neurotransmitter that helps regulate mood, emotions, and behavior. Citalopram is typically taken orally in the form of a tablet or liquid solution. It may take a few weeks for the full effects of citalopram to be felt, and it is important to follow the prescribed dosage and instructions from a healthcare provider. Like all medications, citalopram can cause side effects and may not be suitable for everyone. It is important to discuss any concerns or questions about citalopram with a healthcare provider.
