Description
Seropram 20 Tab contains citalopram (20 mg), a selective serotonin reuptake inhibitor (SSRI) used to treat major depressive disorder and panic disorder. It increases serotonin levels in the brain, helping to improve mood, reduce anxiety, and alleviate symptoms of depression like sadness or loss of interest. Typically taken orally once daily, with or without food, Seropram is prescribed for adults and may take 4–6 weeks to show full effects. It’s also used off-label for generalized anxiety disorder. Side effects may include nausea, dry mouth, drowsiness, or insomnia, which often lessen over time. It’s not recommended for children under 18 or during the last trimester of pregnancy due to risks like preterm birth or withdrawal symptoms in newborns. Patients with liver or kidney issues should use it cautiously, and driving should be avoided if drowsiness occurs. Abrupt discontinuation can cause withdrawal effects like irritability or dizziness, so tapering under medical supervision is advised. Regular follow-ups are essential to monitor progress and adjust dosage.
