Overview
Citalopram 20mg is a prescription antidepressant belonging to the SSRI (selective serotonin reuptake inhibitor) group. It is used to treat depression and certain anxiety and panic disorders. Citalopram works by increasing the level of serotonin, a chemical messenger in the brain that helps regulate mood, improving mood, sleep, appetite and interest in daily life over time. It is taken once daily as part of an ongoing treatment plan for adults under their doctor's care.

This is a prescription medicine. Tell your doctor right away if you notice worsening mood or any thoughts of self-harm, especially when starting or changing the dose.
