Citalopram is a selective serotonin reuptake inhibitor (SSRI) antidepressant medication that is used to treat depression and some anxiety disorders. It works by increasing the levels of serotonin in the brain, which helps to improve mood, reduce anxiety, and promote feelings of well-being. Citalopram 20 mg tablets are a common starting dose for adults with depression, but your healthcare provider may adjust your dose based on your individual needs and response to treatment. It is important to take citalopram exactly as prescribed by your healthcare provider and to discuss any concerns or questions you may have about the medication with them.
