Product Information 

Citalopram hydrobromate is a highly selective 5-hydroxytryptamine (5-HT) uptake inhibitor with antidepressant effects. The advantage of this drug is that it has no inhibitory effect on cholinergic muscarinic receptors, histamine receptors and α-adrenergic receptors. Because if these receptors are inhibited, many of the side effects of antidepressants can occur, such as dry mouth, sedation, and postural hypotension. Citalopram hydrobromide is equally effective in patients with both endogenous and non-endogenous depression, and its antidepressant effects are usually established after 2-4 weeks. Citalopram hydrobromide does not affect the cardiac conduction system or blood pressure, which is particularly important in elderly patients. In addition, citalopram hydrobromide does not affect the blood, liver and kidney systems. The rare side effects and mild sedative nature make it especially suitable for long-term treatment. Neither causes weight gain nor reinforces the effects of alcohol.
