What is lexapro made of?

What ingredients are in Lexapro (escitalopram)?

Lexapro is a prescription antidepressant whose active ingredient is escitalopram (as the oxalate salt). The product also includes inactive ingredients (excipients) in the tablet or liquid formulation, which help with things like shape, stability, and release of the medicine.

What are the “made of” parts: active vs. inactive

The “made of” answer is usually two parts:
- Active ingredient: escitalopram (escitalopram oxalate)
- Inactive ingredients: formulation-specific excipients that vary by dosage form (for example, tablet vs. solution) and by strength.

Which Lexapro form do you mean?

Lexapro comes in different strengths and dosage forms, and the inactive ingredients can differ. If you tell me whether you have Lexapro tablets (what strength, like 5 mg/10 mg/20 mg) or the liquid, I can narrow the ingredients to match that specific product.
