What is Inment (inement) Escitalopram?
Escitalopram is an SSRI antidepressant that increases serotonin levels in the brain, helping regulate mood and anxiety.
Indications

• Anxiety disorders: Panic Disorder (with/without agoraphobia), Social Anxiety Disorder, Generalized Anxiety Disorder (GAD), and Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder (OCD).
Onset: improvement often appears within 1–2 weeks; full effect may take 4–6 weeks. Continue as directed by your physician.
