Citalopram is an antidepressant. It is a selective serotonin reuptake inhibitor (SSRI), which means that it works by increasing the levels of serotonin in the brain. Serotonin is a neurotransmitter that plays a role in mood regulation.
Citalopram is used to treat major depressive disorder (MDD), obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD), panic disorder, and premenstrual dysphoric disorder (PMDD). It is generally well-tolerated and has a relatively low risk of side effects.
