How Escitalopram Works
BlueSkyDrugs.com supplies only genuine Lexapro from Canada shipped in Canadian packaging and Turkey shipped in Turkish packaging. The brand Lexapro is manufactured by Lundbeck, the worldwide manufacturer of Lexapro. This offer is neither endorsed nor authorized by Lundbeck A/S (the United States and Canadian distributor of Lexapro). BlueSkyDrugs.com has no affiliation whatsoever with Lexapro or Lundbeck A/S.
Escitalopram is the active medicinal ingredient found in Lexapro. It is used to treat individuals suffering from depression, obsessive-compulsive disorders and anxiety disorders. Escitalopram works by increasing the “happy hormone” Serotonin in the brain which in turn leads to a good mood. Treatment usually begins with a dose of 10mg daily, the dose will be determined by your doctor, and the dose may be increased to a maximum of 20mg daily depending on the severity of your case. Your doctor may have prescribed Escitalopram for reasons other than those listed; therefore it is important to take this medication exactly as prescribed.
Generic Lexapro vs Brand Lexapro
Brand and generic lexapro are chemically and therapeutically the same; both medications contain the medical ingredient Escitalopram Oxalate. Escitalopram is marketed by Lundbeck as Lexapro in the USA only; Lexapro is known as Cipralex and Seroplex in other countries around of the world. Keep in mind that Blue sky drugs is a global pharmacy and your order of Lexapro may have an alternate name depending on its country of origin; an alternate name DOES NOT make the medication a generic. The biggest difference between brand Lexapro and Escitalopram is that the generic Escitalopram is manufactured outside of a Lundbeck facility.
