Uses:
Rexipra 10mg is primarily used to treat mental health conditions such as:
- Major Depressive Disorder (MDD)
- Generalized Anxiety Disorder (GAD)
- Panic Disorder
- Social Anxiety Disorder
- Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder (OCD) (off-label)
- Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) (off-label)
How It Works:
Escitalopram increases the availability of serotonin, a natural chemical in the brain that helps regulate mood, sleep, and emotion. It does this by selectively inhibiting serotonin reuptake, allowing more serotonin to remain active in the brain synapses, which improves mood and reduces anxiety over time.

- Avoid alcohol and other CNS depressants while on this medication
- Gradual tapering is advised when stopping to avoid withdrawal symptoms (e.g., irritability, nausea, tingling sensations)
Drug Interactions:
- Risk of serotonin syndrome when combined with other serotonergic drugs (e.g., other SSRIs, SNRIs, MAO inhibitors, triptans)
- May interact with NSAIDs or blood thinners, increasing bleeding risk
