Online Lexapro on Sale at Alfaus Prescription Drugs Pharmacy
 Lexapro is an antidepressant that is the newest
member of the family of medications known as selective serotonin reuptake
inhibitors (SSRIs). Lexapro was developed by isolating a part of the
CELEXATM (citalopram HBr) molecule, known as an isomer. As a result, Lexapro
is able to provide effective and well-tolerated therapy for depressed
patients. Lexapro helps to restore the brain's chemical balance by
increasing the available supply of serotonin, a substance in the brain
believed to influence mood. |
The following information
is intended to supplement, not substitute for, the expertise and
judgment of your physician, pharmacist or other healthcare
professional. It should not be construed to indicate that use of the
drug is safe, appropriate, or effective for you. Consult your
healthcare professional before using this drug.
Online Lexapro Use Indication:
Lexapro should be taken once every day. It may be taken with or without food,
in the morning or evening. Also remember to fill prescriptions ahead of time
to avoid missing a dose. To get the best results, it is important to follow
all of your healthcare professional's or doctor's instructions about how and
when you should take Lexapro.

Medication Lexapro Side Effects:
Lexapro is well tolerated by most people. The most commonly reported side
effects of Lexapro are nausea, insomnia, problems with ejaculation,
somnolence, increased sweating, and fatigue. Most of the side effects
experienced by patients taking Lexapro are mild to moderate and go away with
continued treatment, and usually do not cause patients to stop taking Lexapro.
Although changes in sexual desire, sexual performance, and sexual satisfaction
may occur while a person experiences a depression episode, they may also be a
consequence of treatment with SSRI therapies. Reliable estimates of changes in
sexual behavior related to medication are difficult to obtain, because
patients and physicians are often reluctant to discuss them. In clinical
trials, a low percentage of patients taking Lexapro have reported sexual side
effects, primarily ejaculatory delay in men. If you have questions about
sexual dysfunction, speak with your healthcare professional or doctor.

Precautions on using Lexapro
Do not stop taking Lexapro without first talking to your doctor. It may take
several weeks for you to start feeling better.
- Use caution when driving, operating machinery, or performing other hazardous
activities. Lexapro may cause dizziness. If you experience dizziness, avoid
these activities.
- Use alcohol cautiously. Alcohol may increase drowsiness and dizziness while
taking escitalopram or affect your condition.

Medication Lexapro Drug Interaction:
Lexapro can be taken with most other medications except another family of
antidepressants called monoamine oxidase inhibitors (MAOIs). Lexapro and MAOIs
should not be taken together or within 14 days of each other. As with other
SSRIs, caution is indicated in taking Lexapro with tricyclic antidepressants (TCAs).
Before you begin taking Lexapro, make sure to tell your healthcare
professional or doctor if you are taking any other medications, including
over-the-counter medications, herbal remedies, diet supplements, etc.
