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

Dear Lybrate user,

ESCITALOPRAM OXALATE decreases sexual functions. So unless you stop taking escitalopram your problem of premature ejaculation will not be cured even if you take medicnes for escitalopram.

All brands from quality pharma companies are good and about the same price. But there are some not so standard pharma s and some duplicate medications which carries the name, but might be a duplicate. All the best

It does not belong to addiction category if medicine. Rather your depression or is chronic and needs continuous treatment. Govt periodically bans combination medications, you can get the components of escitalopram and flupenthixol separately, after psychiatrist evaluation. Good luck.

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

Autism, cerebral palsy, adhd come under one spectrum. They are behavioral disorders. They are not organic disorders (meaning. They cannot be picked up on sonography or any other radiological investigation whatsoever). Behavioral disorders are detected a few months after birth depending upon the developmental milestones. Cipralex comes in category c of fda drugs. Meaning there are not enough studies to come to conclusion. But it is one of the safer drugs in pregnancy.

Only the SSRI group of antidepressants cause sexual problems in few patients. These side effects are temporary. Escitalopram is an SSRI.
There are plenty of effective antidepressant that has no sexual side effect. Please discuss with your psychiatrist.

Dear lybrate-user,
rexipra 10 mg is escitalopram 10 mg. It is available. The same medicine in different brand names are also available freely in the market. But it is better to consult your psychiatrist regularly and adjust the dose or to stop it. It may not be a tablet for your whole life.
