Mode of Action

How Does It Work?

The Rexipra Tablet has a single active ingredient: escitalopram. Escitalopram increases the levels of serotonin in the brain. Serotonin is a natural chemical messenger in the body, responsible for stabilising the mood, causing feelings of well-being or happiness, etc. It can also help other functions like sleeping, eating, and digestion. Balanced levels of serotonin can lower excess nerve cell activity in the brain, which can help manage symptoms of depression and regulate mood and anxiety.
