Uses of Citalo 20mg Tablet

Citalo 20mg Tablet is used to treat depression and to help prevent panic attacks in panic disorder, with or without agoraphobia.

Treatment is normally continued for several months after you feel better to lower the chance of symptoms coming back.

How Citalo 20mg Tablet works

Citalopram is a selective serotonin reuptake inhibitor (SSRI). It stops nerve cells in the brain from taking back serotonin too quickly after it has been released, so more of this chemical messenger stays active. Over several weeks this helps steady mood and reduce anxiety.

Possible side effects

Side effects of Citalo 20mg Tablet often settle after the first few weeks. The more common ones include:

• Nausea
• Sweating
• Drowsiness or trouble sleeping
• Dry mouth
• Headache
• Sexual problems

Contact your doctor straight away about thoughts of self-harm, a fast or irregular heartbeat or fainting. Get urgent help for agitation, high temperature and muscle twitching, which may be serotonin syndrome.

Precautions and warnings

• Do not stop it suddenly; your doctor will reduce the dose gradually.
• Avoid alcohol and do not drive until you know how it affects you.
• Tell your doctor if you have heart rhythm problems or take other medicines that affect heart rhythm, as citalopram can prolong the QT interval.
• Tell your doctor about all other medicines you take, especially MAOIs, other antidepressants, triptans, tramadol, blood thinners or anti-inflammatory painkillers.
• Speak to your doctor if you are pregnant, planning a pregnancy or breastfeeding.

Storage

Store below 30°C in a dry place, away from direct sunlight and moisture. Keep it in the original pack until use. Keep all medicines out of the reach of children.
