Who makes lexapro?

Who manufactures Lexapro today?

Lexapro (escitalopram) is made by multiple companies depending on the market and whether the product is brand-name or generic. The brand manufacturer can vary by country due to licensing and distribution arrangements.

What about generic escitalopram—who makes it?

Generic escitalopram is produced by many manufacturers once approved by regulators in each country. As a result, the “maker” you’ll see on a pharmacy label may differ from one country to another and even between different generic products.

How can I tell which company makes the Lexapro I have?

Check the box or bottle label for the “manufacturer” or “distributed by” line. For brand Lexapro, this will name the relevant branded product company for your region; for generics, it will list the specific generic manufacturer.
