Cipralex (escitalopram) is an antidepressant medication used to treat depression and anxiety disorders. The typical dosage is 10 mg taken once daily, with a maximum of 20 mg per day. The 10 mg tablets are white, oval, and scored, allowing them to be split. Common side effects include nausea, dry mouth, and insomnia. Patients should not abruptly stop taking Cipralex, as this can cause withdrawal symptoms.
