Arrow-Citalopram

Uses
Arrow-Citalopram (Citalopram Hydrobromide) is categorized as a selective serotonin reuptake inhibitor (SSRI) antidepressant. Medical research has demonstrated that it works by inhibiting the uptake of 5-HT (serotonin). It is also indicated for the treatment of panic disorder, occurring either with or without agoraphobia.

In the brain, neurotransmitters such as serotonin are released, and this causes them to improve the mood. However, after they have carried out their function, they are reabsorbed. This prevents the serotonin having any further effects on the emotions and mood, and many experts believe that there is a strong link between a reduction in serotonin release and depression.

Treatment with this medicine aims to combat depression, and by selectively inhibiting the reuptake (reabsorption) of serotonin, it can help to boost the mood while also relieving feelings of panic and depression. It also exhibits little or no effects on the uptake of other neurotransmitters. A considerable amount of medical studies have been carried out to examine its efficacy in the treatment of premature ejaculation.
