See the DrugPatentWatch profile for escitalopram
Escitalopram is a generic version of the brand-name antidepressant Lexapro. It is used to treat depression (major depressive disorder) and anxiety disorders such as generalized anxiety disorder [1].
People usually ask this to identify what brand a generic medication matches. If you see “escitalopram” on a prescription or label, it typically indicates the active ingredient is escitalopram, and it is the same drug as Lexapro (same active ingredient, not a different medicine) [1].
Escitalopram specifically refers to that active ingredient (escitalopram). Other generics may be different drugs (for example, citalopram is not the same as escitalopram), even if they are related and both are SSRIs [1].
Commonly, escitalopram is prescribed for: - Major depressive disorder - Generalized anxiety disorder [1] Sources: 1. https://www.drugs.com/escitalopram.html
