Escitalopram is a medication developed by the Danish pharmaceutical company Lundbeck, that acts as a selective serotonin reuptake inhibitor or SSRI. It is typically used as an antidepressant to treat depression associated with mood disorders although also may be used in the treatment of body dysmorphic disorder and anxiety, including OCD. In the United States, the drug is marketed under the name Lexapro® by Forest Laboratories, Inc. In Canada and Europe, the drug is marketed under the name Cipralex® by Lundbeck Canada, Inc.

Manufacture and History


Escitalopram oxalate is derived from the drug citalopram which is made up of two mirror-image isomers, only one of which is thought to be an effective medication. Lundbeck has split the isomers apart, taken the active isomer and has licensed it as the new drug escitalopram. Escitalopram is the pure S-enantiomer (left-handed isomer) of the racemic bicyclic phthalane derivative citalopram, and is the most selective SSRI.
