Mode of Action

How Does It Work?

Cilentra Tablet contains escitalopram as its main ingredient. It is an antidepressant. This ingredient increases serotonin levels in the brain by blocking its reuptake by nerve cells. Serotonin is a hormone responsible for stabilising the mood and producing happy thoughts. It can also help in other functions like sleeping, eating, and digestion. Increased serotonin levels result in excess nerve cell activity in the brain, which can help manage symptoms of depression and regulate mood and anxiety.

Interactions

Interactions with other medicines

  • Certain anti-anxiety and mood disorder medicines such as linezolid, moclobemide, selegiline, etc.(MAO inhibitors), combined with the Cilentra Tablet, can cause severe reactions. They inhibit serotonin metabolism and can result in serotonin levels that are high enough to produce heart and neurotoxic serotonin syndrome.
  • The combination of other antidepressant medicines like fluoxetine, paroxetine., etc., with Cilentra Tablet can also raise the levels of serotonin, which can lead to serotonin toxicity and cause life-threatening side effects.
  • If you have bleeding issues or take blood thinner medicines, use Cilentra Tablets with caution as it may increase the risk of bleeding.
  • Do not take other medicines that cause drowsiness, such as allergy, cold and cough medicine, opiates, or narcotic pain relievers with Cilentra Tablets. These medicines can increase the side effects of Cilentra Tablets and cause extreme drowsiness.
