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.

My psychiatrist doctor recommended me cipralex 10 mg (half tablets on first 4 days, then one full tablet for 6 days and then 20 mg tablet for next 20 days.) for first 4 days with half tablets everything was good, and I started feeling good also, when I took 1 mg tablet for next 3 days it was good, but later on it started decreasing my libido in masturbation. I am not able to masturbate for 3 days (whenever I start masturbation my sperm doesn't come out and i'm unable to reach the orgasm/climax/ejaculation) .and I feel very little sexual attraction. I'm afraid what will happen when I will start 20 mg for whole 20 days from now onwards. Is it normal or should I again consult my psychiatrist doctor. I'm mean do doctors recommend 20 mg cipralex to anyone. My weight is between 78-81. Height 5" 11. Age 23.

Cipralex which contains escitalopram is known to cause decreased libido and delayed ejaculation and at times anorgasmia (absence of orgasm).

Nexito (escitalopram) is fine, though try cipralex which is the best form of escitalopram and stop petril. Consult psychiatrist. All the best.

Dear lybrate-user, Rexipra which is escitalopram can cause sexual dysfunction, so can depression - anxiety/stress. Bupropion is an antidepressant which doesn't cause any sexual dysfunctions.

Controlling anxiety and stress through these techn...more

Dear Lybrate user. Although ovunal can have more than one uses. But more commonly it's given to females in case they are unable to conceive. It helps in releasing Ovum from ovaries and increasing the chances of conception. Especially if it's due to deficiency of certain female hormones.
