1. What is Escitalopram Aurovitas and what is it used for
Escitalopram Aurovitas contains the active substance escitalopram. Escitalopram Aurovitas belongs to a group of antidepressant medicines called selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs). These medicines work on the serotonin system in the brain by increasing the levels of serotonin.
Escitalopram Aurovitas is used to treat depression (major depressive episodes), anxiety disorders (such as panic disorder with or without agoraphobia, social phobia, generalized anxiety disorder, and obsessive-compulsive disorder). It may take a few weeks of treatment before you start to feel better. You should continue to take Escitalopram Aurovitas even if you feel better, as it may take some time for the full benefits of the treatment to become apparent. If you do not feel better or feel worse, you should contact your doctor.
2. Important information before taking Escitalopram Aurovitas
When not to take Escitalopram Aurovitas
- if you are allergic to escitalopram or any of the other ingredients of this medicine (listed in section 6),
- if you are taking other medicines that belong to a group called monoamine oxidase inhibitors (MAOIs), including selegiline (used to treat Parkinson's disease), moclobemide (used to treat depression), and linezolid (an antibiotic),
- if you have been born with a heart condition that affects your heart rhythm or if you have had a heart rhythm disturbance (seen on an ECG),
- if you are taking medicines that affect your heart rhythm or medicines that may affect your heart rhythm (see "Escitalopram Aurovitas and other medicines").
Warnings and precautions
Before taking Escitalopram Aurovitas, you should discuss it with your doctor or pharmacist.
You should tell your doctor if you have any other conditions or diseases, as your doctor should take this information into account.
In particular, you should inform your doctor:
- If you have epilepsy. If you experience seizures for the first time or if their frequency increases, you should stop taking Escitalopram Aurovitas (see also section 4 "Possible side effects").
- If you have liver or kidney problems. Your doctor may need to adjust the dose.
- If you have diabetes. Taking Escitalopram Aurovitas may affect your blood sugar control. You may need to adjust your insulin dose and/or oral hypoglycemic medications.
- If you have low sodium levels in your blood.
- If you have a history of bleeding or easy bruising or if you are pregnant (see "Pregnancy, breastfeeding, and fertility").
- If you are undergoing electroconvulsive therapy.
- If you have coronary heart disease.
- If you have had heart problems or have recently had a heart attack.
- If you have a slow resting heart rate and/or if you may have low levels of electrolytes due to prolonged severe diarrhea, vomiting, or use of diuretics.
- If you experience fast or irregular heartbeats, fainting, collapse, or dizziness when standing up, which may indicate an abnormal heart rhythm.
- If you have had eye problems, such as certain types of glaucoma (increased pressure in the eye).
- Medicines like escitalopram (SSRIs/SNRIs) may cause sexual dysfunction (see section 4). In some cases, these symptoms have persisted after stopping treatment.
- If you are taking buprenorphine-containing products. Taking these medicines with Escitalopram Aurovitas may lead to a potentially life-threatening condition called serotonin syndrome (see "Escitalopram Aurovitas and other medicines").
Note
In some patients with bipolar affective disorder, a manic phase may occur. This is characterized by unusual and rapidly changing ideas, unjustified feelings of happiness, and excessive physical activity. If these symptoms occur, you should contact your doctor.
In the first few weeks of treatment, you may also experience symptoms such as restlessness or difficulty sitting or standing still. If you experience these symptoms, you should contact your doctor immediately.
Suicidal thoughts and worsening of depression or anxiety disorder
People with depression or anxiety disorders may sometimes have thoughts of self-harm or suicide. These symptoms or behaviors may worsen at the start of treatment with antidepressant medicines, as these medicines start to work usually after about 2 weeks, sometimes later.
These symptoms are more likely to occur in:
- patients who have had thoughts of self-harm or suicide before,
- young adults (under 25 years old). Clinical trial data have shown an increased risk of suicidal behavior in young adults with psychiatric disorders who were treated with antidepressant medicines.
If you experience thoughts of self-harm or suicide, you should contact your doctor or go to the hospital immediately.
It may be helpful to inform your relatives or close friendsabout your depression or anxiety disorder and ask them to read this leaflet. You may want to ask them to tell you if they notice that your depression or anxiety is getting worse or if you are experiencing any of the following symptoms:
Children and adolescents
Escitalopram Aurovitas should not be used in children and adolescents under 18 years of age.
It should also be noted that in the case of taking medicines of this class, patients under 18 years of age are at increased risk of side effects, such as suicidal attempts, suicidal thoughts, and hostility (especially aggression, rebellious behavior, and manifestations of anger). However, your doctor may prescribe Escitalopram Aurovitas to patients under 18 years of age if they consider it to be in their best interest. If your doctor has prescribed Escitalopram Aurovitas to a patient under 18 years of age and you have any concerns, please contact your doctor. If the above symptoms develop or worsen in patients under 18 years of age taking Escitalopram Aurovitas, you should inform your doctor. Additionally, as there is currently no data on the long-term safety of Escitalopram Aurovitas in this age group regarding growth, maturation, and cognitive and behavioral development.
Escitalopram Aurovitas and other medicines
You should tell your doctor or pharmacist about all medicines you are taking or have recently taken, as well as any medicines you plan to take.
You should inform your doctor if you are taking any of the following medicines:
- Non-selective monoamine oxidase inhibitors (MAOIs) containing substances such as phenelzine, iproniazid, isocarboxazid, nialamide, and tranylcypromine. If you have taken any of these medicines, you should wait 14 days before starting to take Escitalopram Aurovitas. After stopping treatment with Escitalopram Aurovitas, you should wait 7 days before taking any of these medicines.
- Reversible, selective monoamine oxidase A inhibitors (MAO-A) containing moclobemide (used to treat depression).
- Irreversible monoamine oxidase B inhibitors (MAO-B) containing selegiline (used to treat Parkinson's disease). These medicines increase the risk of side effects.
- The antibiotic linezolid.
- Lithium (used to treat bipolar affective disorder) and tryptophan.
- Imipramine and desipramine (used to treat depression).
- Sumatriptan and similar medicines (used to treat migraines) and tramadol and similar medicines (opioids, used to treat severe pain). These medicines may increase the risk of side effects.
- Cimetidine, lansoprazole, and omeprazole (used to treat stomach ulcers), fluconazole (used to treat fungal infections), fluvoxamine (an antidepressant), and ticlopidine (used to reduce the risk of stroke). These medicines may cause an increase in escitalopram levels in the blood.
- St. John's Wort (Hypericum perforatum), a herbal medicine used to treat depression.
- Aspirin and non-steroidal anti-inflammatory medicines (used to treat pain or to thin the blood, known as anticoagulants). These medicines may increase the risk of bleeding.
- Warfarin, dipyridamole, and phenprocoumon (used to thin the blood, known as anticoagulants). Your doctor may need to monitor your blood clotting time when starting or stopping treatment with Escitalopram Aurovitas to ensure that your anticoagulant dose is still appropriate.
- Mefloquine (used to treat malaria), bupropion (used to treat depression), and tramadol (used to treat severe pain), due to the potential risk of lowering the seizure threshold.
- Antipsychotics (used to treat schizophrenia, psychosis) and antidepressants (tricyclic antidepressants and SSRIs), due to the potential risk of lowering the seizure threshold.
- Flecainide, propafenone, and metoprolol (used to treat heart conditions), clomipramine and nortriptyline (antidepressants), and risperidone, thioridazine, and haloperidol (antipsychotics). Your doctor may need to adjust the dose of Escitalopram Aurovitas.
- Medicines that lower potassium or magnesium levels in the blood, which may increase the risk of life-threatening heart rhythm disorders.
Some medicines may increase the risk of side effects when taken with Escitalopram Aurovitas and may cause serious reactions. You should not take any other medicines without consulting your doctor first, especially:
- medicines containing buprenorphine. These medicines may interact with Escitalopram Aurovitas and cause symptoms such as involuntary, rhythmic muscle contractions, including those that control eye movements, agitation, hallucinations, coma, excessive sweating, tremors, increased reflexes, muscle stiffness, and body temperature above 38°C. If you experience these symptoms, you should contact your doctor.
You should not take Escitalopram Aurovitas at the same time as medicines used to treat heart rhythm disorders or medicines that may affect your heart rhythm, such as anti-arrhythmic medicines class IA and III, antipsychotics (e.g., phenothiazine derivatives, pimozide, haloperidol), tricyclic antidepressants, certain antibacterial medicines (e.g., sparfloxacin, moxifloxacin, erythromycin IV, pentamidine, antimalarial medicines - especially halofantrine), and certain antihistamines (astemizole, hydroxyzine, mizolastine), etc. You should consult your doctor if you have any further questions.
Escitalopram Aurovitas with food, drink, and alcohol
Escitalopram Aurovitas can be taken with or without food (see section 3 "How to take Escitalopram Aurovitas").
As with many medicines, it is not recommended to take Escitalopram Aurovitas and drink alcohol at the same time, although interactions between Escitalopram Aurovitas and alcohol are not expected.
Pregnancy, breastfeeding, and fertility
If you are pregnant or breastfeeding, think you may be pregnant, or are planning to have a baby, you should ask your doctor or pharmacist for advice before taking this medicine.
You should not take Escitalopram Aurovitas during pregnancy and while breastfeeding, unless you have discussed the risks and benefits with your doctor.
If you take Escitalopram Aurovitas during the last 3 months of pregnancy, you should be aware that the following symptoms may occur in the newborn: breathing difficulties, blue skin, seizures, changes in body temperature, difficulty feeding, vomiting, low blood sugar, stiffness or floppiness, increased reflexes, tremors, jitteriness, irritability, lethargy, constant crying, and sleep disturbances. If your baby experiences any of these symptoms, you should contact your doctor immediately.
You should inform your doctor and/or midwife that you are taking Escitalopram Aurovitas.
Taking medicines like Escitalopram Aurovitas, especially in the last 3 months of pregnancy, may increase the risk of a serious condition in the newborn called persistent pulmonary hypertension of the newborn (PPHN). This condition is characterized by rapid breathing and blue discoloration of the skin. These symptoms usually appear in the first day after birth. If your baby experiences these symptoms, you should contact your doctor and/or midwife immediately.
You should not stop taking Escitalopram Aurovitas during pregnancy.
If you take Escitalopram Aurovitas at the end of pregnancy, you may be at increased risk of severe bleeding from the uterus shortly after delivery, especially if you have had bleeding disorders in the past. Your doctor or midwife should be aware that you are taking Escitalopram Aurovitas so that they can advise you.
It is assumed that escitalopram passes into breast milk.
In animal studies, it has been shown that citalopram, a medicine similar to escitalopram, reduces sperm quality. This may theoretically affect fertility, although no effect on fertility has been observed in humans so far.
Driving and using machines
You should not drive or operate machinery until you know how Escitalopram Aurovitas affects you.
Escitalopram Aurovitas contains sodium
This medicine contains less than 1 mmol (23 mg) of sodium per tablet, which means it is essentially "sodium-free".

In most patients, the symptoms are mild and disappear on their own within two weeks. In some patients, however, they may be more severe or longer-lasting (2-3 months or longer). If you experience severe withdrawal symptoms after stopping treatment with Escitalopram Aurovitas, you should contact your doctor. Your doctor may recommend that you start taking the medicine again and taper it off more slowly.
