Cipralex from Lundbeck contains Escitalopram

Below are some of the details of Escitalopram(generic)

Escitalopram (trade names Lexapro, Cipralex) is an antidepressant of the selective serotonin reuptake inhibitor (SSRI) class. It is approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for the treatment of major depressive disorder and generalized anxiety disorder in adults; other indications include social anxiety disorder, panic disorder and obsessive-compulsive disorder. Escitalopram is the S-stereoisomer (enantiomer) of the earlier Lundbeck drug citalopram (Celexa), hence the name escitalopram. Escitalopram is noted for its high selectivity of serotonin reuptake inhibition and, as a result has fewer side effects not related to its serotonergic activity. According to a meta-analysis of 12 new-generation antidepressants, escitalopram and sertraline (Zoloft) are the best in terms of efficacy and acceptability in the acute-phase treatment of adults with major depression; however, sertraline may be a better choice because of the lower cost.
