Citalopram belongs to a class of drugs called SSRIs (selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors). Serotonin is a neurotransmitter or chemical in the brain that plays a major role in different processes of the body. Citalopram is believed to work by increasing the levels and effects of serotonin in the brain. 

Citalopram is available as an oral tablet or solution that is FDA-approved for daily use in adults. A healthcare provider typically recommends Citalopram at a lower dosage. The dosage may be gradually increased depending on a person’s response to treatment. It may take up to two weeks or more for Citalopram to fully start improving symptoms.

Citalopram also commonly causes sexual side effects, including erectile dysfunction, decreased sexual desire (libido), and delayed ejaculation (ejaculation disorder). 

Serious side effects of Citalopram include suicidal thoughts or behaviors, a fast or irregular heartbeat, an increased risk of bleeding, manic episodes, seizures, angle-closure glaucoma, and low salt levels in the blood. The use of Citalopram, especially with other serotonergic drugs, can increase the risk of serotonin syndrome, which can cause symptoms such as agitation, tremors, fever, diarrhea, and blood pressure changes. An allergic reaction to Citalopram is also possible and may cause symptoms like rashes, hives, and swelling. Seek immediate medical attention if you experience symptoms of a serious adverse reaction to Citalopram.
