Yes, they are same, but different companies have different efficacy, so better take the one prescribed by your doctor.

Dear user. There was also a decrease in sperm count and sperm motility in the fluoxetine groups compared with control mice.Three additional studies on human sperm suggested reduced concentration and motility and altered morphology with escitalopram14 and any SSRI,15 and reduced motility with any SSRI.

The medical drug which is present in above brand is escitalopram which has not shown significant interaction with pregnancy and can be taken during pregnancy if advised by your psychiatrist as per your clinical condition. 5 mg and 10 mg are the strength of the medication and final dose will depend on your clinical status and response to the medication. Contact your psychiatrist for further discussion regarding dosage.

Good evening
cipralex is escitalopram which is a medicine used to treat anxiety and depression. Usually it doesn't have much side effects and it can be prescribed for chronic periods. It's better to get a medical assessment from a qualified medical doctor or a psychiatrist to review the indication and to examine the patient before stopping this medicine
