Pharmacology
Escitalopram is a selective serotonin reuptake inhibitor that is taken orally (SSRI). The pure S-enantiomer of the racemic bicyclic phthalate derivative citalopram is escitalopram. When it comes to inhibiting 5-HT reuptake, escitalopram is at least 100 times more potent than the R-enantiomer. Escitalopram binds to serotonergic and other receptors, including alpha, with no or very low affinity.

Pregnancy & Lactation
Protium 20 is classified as a pregnancy category B by the US Food and Drug Administration. However, no adequate and well-controlled studies in pregnant women have been conducted. Because animal reproduction studies do not always predict human response, this medication should only be used during pregnancy if absolutely necessary. Protium 20 has been found to pass through human milk.
Precautions & Warnings
Protium 20 mg tablets should not be split, chewed, or crushed, according to the manufacturer. Protium 20 therapy for a long time may cause cyanocobalamin (Vitamin B12) malabsorption or increase the risk of osteoporosis-related disorders.
