Mechanism of action
Citalopram is a potent selective serotonin reuptake inhibitor that increases synaptic levels of serotonin in the brain, thereby improving mood and reducing depressive symptoms.
Celexa is the brand name for citalopram, a common treatment for Major Depressive Disorder. The same active ingredient is also sold as Cipramil. This medication is supplied as a tablet in strengths of 10mg and 20mg and is typically used to manage symptoms over the long term.
Buying Celexa online
