Medical Description

Nexito is an antidepressant that helps manage depression. It belongs to a class of medicines called selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs). Nexito is chemically composed of Escitalopram. Escitalopram is an S-enantiomer of racemic citalopram, which inhibits the uptake of serotonin (thereby increasing serotonin levels in the brain). Serotonin is a natural chemical present in the brain responsible for stabilising mood. It is used to manage depression (a mood disorder) and anxiety disorders. Nexito is also used to manage insomnia (lack of sleep) secondary to panic disorders and depression. It relieves symptoms of OCD (obsessive-compulsive disorder). It has additionally been used to manage mood swings, fatigue, anxiety, and irritability associated with Premenstrual Dysphoric Disorder. The dosage and the duration of the medicine should be decided by your doctor. It should be taken orally with or without food, preferably at the same time daily.

Mode of Action

How Does It Work?

Nexito (Escitalopram) is an SSRI (Selective Serotonin Reuptake Inhibitor). It selectively inhibits serotonin uptake, thereby restoring the serotonin levels in the brain with little or no effect on levels of norepinephrine and dopamine. Serotonin is a natural hormone present in the brain responsible for feeling well-being, happiness, and stabilising mood. Nexito improves your energy level, feeling of well-being and decreases nervousness by increasing serotonin levels in the brain.
