WHAT CITALOPRAM
AN IS USED FOR
CITALOPRAM
AN
is
used
to
treat depression.
It
belongs
to
a
group
of
medicines
called
selective
serotonin
reuptake
inhibitors
(SSRIs).
They
are
thought
to
work by their actions on brain
chemicals called amines which
are involved in controlling mood.
Depression is longer lasting or
more
severe
than
the
"low
moods" everyone has from time
to
time
due
to
the
stress
of
everyday life. It is thought to be
caused by a chemical imbalance
in
parts
of
the
brain.
This
imbalance
affects
your
whole
body and can cause emotional
and physical symptoms such as
feeling
low
in
spirit,
loss
of
interest
in
activities,
being
unable
to
enjoy
life,
poor
appetite or overeating, disturbed
sleep,
often
waking
up
early,
loss of sex drive, lack of energy
and feeling guilty over nothing.
CITALOPRAM AN corrects this
chemical
imbalance
and
may
help
relieve
the
symptoms
of
depression.
Your
doctor,
however,
may
prescribe it for another purpose.
ASK YOUR DOCTOR IF YOU HAVE
ANY
QUESTIONS
ABOUT
WHY
CITALOPRAM
AN
HAS
BEEN
PRESCRIBED FOR YOU.
This medicine is only available
with a doctor's prescription.
CITALOPRAM
AN
is
not
addictive.
However,
if
you
suddenly stop taking it, you may
get side effects.
TELL YOUR DOCTOR IF YOU GET ANY
SIDE
EFFECTS

PHARMACOLOGY
_PHARMACOLOGICAL ACTIONS_
Biochemical and behavioural studies have shown that citalopram is a
potent inhibitor of serotonin
(5-HT)-uptake. Tolerance to the inhibition of 5-HT-uptake is not
induced by long-term treatment
with citalopram.
On the basis of in vitro studies, citalopram is one of the most
selective Serotonin Reuptake Inhibitor
(SSRI) yet developed, with no, or minimal effect on noradrenaline
(NA), dopamine (DA) and
gamma aminobutyric acid (GABA) uptake. In comparison with other SSRIs
the decreasing order of
selectivity is escitalopram, citalopram, sertraline, paroxetine,
fluvoxamine and fluoxetine. The

clinical relevance of this in vitro finding has not been established.
In contrast to many tricyclic antidepressants and some of the newer
SSRIs, citalopram has no or
very low affinity for a series of receptors including 5-HT

, 5-HT

, DA D

and DA D

receptors,
