Who makes escitalopram (generic and brand-name versions)?
Escitalopram is the active ingredient in multiple branded and generic products. Different companies manufacture different escitalopram products depending on the country and whether the product is branded (like Lexapro) or generic.
Which company makes the brand-name escitalopram (Lexapro)?
In many markets, brand-name escitalopram is marketed under Lexapro. The manufacturer/vendor for the marketed product is typically tied to the specific country’s labeling and distribution chain, so the exact “manufacturer” name can vary by local packaging.
How to find the exact manufacturer on your box (fastest way)
For the most accurate answer, check your product label for:
- “Manufacturer” or “Distributed by” name
- The “MAH” (marketing authorization holder) and the local product registration holder
- The batch/lot information, which can be used to trace the specific producing site
If you tell me your country (and whether it’s Lexapro or a generic), I can help you narrow down the likely manufacturers for that specific product.
Is there more than one manufacturer for generic escitalopram?
Yes. Generic escitalopram is commonly made by multiple pharmaceutical manufacturers, and pharmacies may stock different manufacturers even when the dose and formulation are the same.

What I need from you to answer precisely
Send either:
