Pharmacology:
-
Escitalopram, the active ingredient in Lexaton 50 mg, is a selective serotonin reuptake inhibitor (SSRI).
-
It works by increasing the levels of serotonin, a neurotransmitter in the brain that regulates mood, anxiety, and other emotional states. By blocking the reuptake of serotonin, Lexaton helps to elevate mood and reduce feelings of anxiety.
Dosage:
-
Typical starting dose for most patients is 10 mg daily, which may be increased to 20 mg daily, based on the doctor's recommendation.
-
50 mg is often prescribed for patients with more severe symptoms or those who have been on treatment for an extended period.
-
Dosage should be adjusted by a healthcare provider depending on the patient's response and side effects.
Administration:
-
Lexaton 50 mg is taken orally once a day, usually in the morning or evening.
-
It can be taken with or without food.
-
Swallow the tablet whole with a glass of water. Do not chew or break the tablet.
Interaction:
-
Lexaton can interact with certain medications such as other SSRIs, SNRIs, MAO inhibitors, triptans, and stimulants, leading to a risk of serotonin syndrome.
-
It may also interact with blood thinners (e.g., warfarin), NSAIDs, and lithium.
-
Always inform your healthcare provider of all other medications, including over-the-counter drugs and herbal supplements, to avoid dangerous interactions.
Contraindications:
-
Contraindicated in individuals who have hypersensitivity to escitalopram or any of the components of the medication.
-
Not recommended for use in combination with monoamine oxidase inhibitors (MAOIs) or linezolid due to the risk of serotonin syndrome.
-
Should be used cautiously in individuals with a history of bipolar disorder, as it may trigger manic episodes.
Side Effects:
-
Common side effects include nausea, insomnia, dizziness, dry mouth, and sexual dysfunction.
-
Serious side effects may include serotonin syndrome (symptoms like agitation, hallucinations, rapid heartbeat, fever), suicidal thoughts, severe allergic reactions, and severe changes in mood.
-
If you experience any unusual or severe side effects, contact your doctor immediately.
Pregnancy & Lactation:
-
Pregnancy: Lexaton should be used during pregnancy only if the potential benefit outweighs the risks to the fetus. Consult your doctor about the risks and benefits.
-
Lactation: Escitalopram is excreted into breast milk, so it should be used with caution while breastfeeding. Consult your doctor before using it while nursing.
