Brands of escitalopram?

What brand names does escitalopram come in?

Escitalopram is marketed under multiple brand names in different countries. Commonly used brand names include Cipralex and Lexapro.

Because brand availability depends on where you live (and whether you’re buying tablets vs. oral solution), the exact list can vary by country.

Are Cipralex and Lexapro the same medicine?

Yes. Cipralex and Lexapro both contain the active ingredient escitalopram (the same drug class and intended use), but they are different brand names used by manufacturers in different markets.

What about generics?

Many countries also sell generic escitalopram. In most cases, generics are priced lower than branded products and are considered therapeutically equivalent (they use the same active ingredient and dose, though excipients can differ).

How can I find the exact brands in my country?

If you share your country (and the strength, like 5 mg/10 mg/20 mg), I can narrow it to the brands that are actually sold there.
