Which companies make generic Lexapro (escitalopram)?
Lexapro is the brand name for the antidepressant escitalopram. Generic escitalopram products are made by multiple manufacturers and sold under different generic labels depending on the country, pharmacy chain, and local approvals. The specific list of manufacturers can change as new products enter the market or companies switch suppliers.
How to find the manufacturer for the generic Lexapro you can buy
In practice, the most reliable way to identify the manufacturer of the generic Lexapro you’re looking at is to check:
- The product’s “labeler” or manufacturer name on the pharmacy label/box
- The National Drug Code (NDC) printed on the package
- The generic product’s listing in the applicable local drug database for your country

Do you mean the US market (FDA) or another country?
Generic Lexapro availability and manufacturer lists differ by country. If you tell me the country (for example, United States, UK, Canada, Australia) and whether you want tablet strengths (5 mg, 10 mg, or 20 mg), I can narrow down which generic escitalopram manufacturers are relevant there.
