- Drug Entry
- Citalopram
Citalopram is an antidepressant belonging to the class of selective serotonin-reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs) widely used to treat the symptoms of depression. It is a racemic bicyclic phthalate derivate and is the only compound with a tertiary amine and 2 nitrogen-containing metabolites among all SSRIs.12,13 Citalopram enhances serotonergic transmission through the inhibition of serotonin reuptake, and among all the SSRIs, citalopram appears to be the most selective toward serotonin reuptake inhibition.12,13 Specifically, it has a very minimal effect on dopamine and norepinephrine transportation and virtually no affinity for muscarinic, histaminergic, or GABAergic receptors.12
Citalopram was approved by the FDA in 1998 for the treatment of depression in adults 18 years or older.18
