Citalopram hydrobromide is a highly selective serotonin (5-HT) uptake inhibitor with antidepressant effects. The advantage of this drug is that it has no inhibitory effect on cholinergic muscarinic receptors, histamine receptors, and alpha adrenergic receptors. Because if these receptors are inhibited, many side effects caused by antidepressants can occur, such as dry mouth, sedation, orthostatic hypotension, etc.

Citalopram hydrobromide is equally effective for patients with endogenous and non endogenous depression, and its antidepressant effect is usually established 2-4 weeks later. Citalopram hydrobromide does not affect the cardiac conduction system and blood pressure, which is particularly important for elderly patients.

also, Citalopram hydrobromide does not affect the blood, liver, and kidney systems. The rare side effects and mild sedative properties make it particularly suitable for long-term treatment. It neither causes weight gain nor reinforces the effects of alcohol.
