Indications of Nexcital 5:

Escitalopram is suitable for the treatment of major depressive episodes-

• Panic disorder treatment, with or without agoraphobia.
• Social anxiety disorder treatment (social phobia).
• Generalized anxiety disorder treatment.
• Obsessive-compulsive disorder treatment.

Pharmacology of Nexcital 5:

An oral selective serotonin reuptake inhibitor is escitalopram (SSRI). The racemic bicyclic phthalate derivative citalopram has a pure enantiomer called escitalopram. Escitalopram is at least 100 times more effective than R-enantiomer at inhibiting 5HT reuptake. The affinity of escitalopram for serotonergic or other receptors is either zero or very low (including alpha and beta-adrenergic dopamine, histamine, muscarinic, and benzodiazepine receptors).

Dosage & Administration of Nexcital 5:

• It has not been proven that daily doses greater than 20 mg are safe. Escitalopram oxalate is taken once daily, with or without food, in a single dose.
• A typical dose for a major depressive episode is 10 mg once daily. The dose may be increased up to 20 mg per day depending on the patient's unique response. A typical timeframe for an antidepressant response is 24 weeks. Treatment must continue for at least six months after symptoms go away in order to stabilize the response.
• A starting dose of 5 mg for the first week is advised for panic disorder, with or without agoraphobia, and a dose increase to 10 mg daily is then advised. Depending on how the patient responds, the dose can be raised further, up to 20 mg per day. After about 3 months, the effect is at its peak. Several months pass after the treatment.
• The recommended dosage for social anxiety disorder is 10 mg once daily. Symptom relief usually takes 24 weeks. After that, the dose can be altered to 5 mg or increased to a maximum of 20 mg per day, depending on the patient's unique response. The recommended length of treatment for social anxiety disorder is 12 weeks in order to stabilize the response. In order to prevent a recurrence, long-term treatment of responders has been studied for six months and may be considered depending on individual circumstances. The effectiveness of the treatment should be regularly assessed. It is important to distinguish between social anxiety disorder and excessive shyness because the former is a well-defined diagnostic term for a particular illness.
• Only when the disease significantly impairs daily activities, such as work and social interactions, is medication required. It has not been determined where this treatment stands in relation to cognitive behavioral therapy. A key component of the overall treatment plan is medication.
• 10 mg daily is the recommended starting dose for generalized anxiety disorder. The dose can be increased up to 20 mg per day depending on how each patient responds. Patients receiving 20 mg/day were studied for at least 6 months while receiving long-term treatment for responders. Regular reviews of dosage and treatment outcomes are recommended.
• 10 mg per day is the recommended starting dose for obsessive-compulsive disorder. The dose can be increased up to 20 mg per day depending on how each patient responds. Patients must receive enough treatment because the obsessive-compulsive disorder is a chronic illness in order for them to be symptom-free. Regular reviews of dosage and treatment outcomes are recommended.
• Escitalopram should typically be administered every morning or evening, with or without food.

Interaction of Nexcital 5:

As an SSRI or related antidepressant, it should not be used within 2 weeks after stopping MAOI. On the contrary, MAOI should not do this. Start at least 1 week after stopping SSRI or related antidepressants (paroxetine and sertraline for 2 weeks, fluoxetine for at least 5 weeks).

Contraindications of Nexcital 5:

Patients who are known to be allergic to escitalopram or citalopram or any inactive ingredients in the drugs should not use escitalopram. Patients taking monoamine oxidase/pimozide are prohibited from using escitalopram at the same time.

Pregnancy & Lactation:

When escitalopram is used to treat pregnant women in the third trimester, physicians must carefully consider the potential risks and benefits of treatment. It is excreted in breast milk. The decision to continue or discontinue breastfeeding or escitalopram therapy should consider the risk of exposure to citalopram to the infant and the benefits of escitalopram therapy to the mother.
