Lexapro tablet sizes?

What tablet strengths does Lexapro come in?

Lexapro (escitalopram) tablets are commonly marketed in several strengths (tablet sizes): 5 mg, 10 mg, 20 mg.

Are there different “tablet sizes” besides the tablet strengths?

Yes. Lexapro is also available in other forms depending on the market (for example, solutions), but “tablet sizes” typically refers to the mg strengths listed above.

Can you take 10 mg if your prescription says 5 mg (or vice versa)?

In practice, prescribers may switch between strengths (for example, using two 5 mg tablets to equal one 10 mg tablet) when that matches the dosing instructions on the prescription. It depends on what your clinician directed and how your prescription is written.

How do I confirm the exact tablet size for my bottle?

Check the label on your specific prescription container—strength is printed as mg per tablet (e.g., “5 mg” or “10 mg”). If you share the exact wording on your bottle label, I can help interpret what it means.
