Seradep 10mg tablet 14

Pregnancy

Escitalopram should be taken only when absolutely necessary during pregnancy. It has the potential to cause harm to an unborn child. Furthermore, babies born to women who were using Escitalopram in the last trimester of pregnancy may experience symptoms of withdrawal such as feeding difficulties, breathing difficulties seizures, muscular rigidity, or continuous crying. Pregnant females are advised to consult their doctors regarding the benefits and risks of Escitalopram before using it.

Lactation

Escitalopram enters breast milk and can have adverse effects on a nursing baby. Lactating females should consult their doctor before using Escitalopram.

Driving

Escitalopram use may impair one's ability to take decisions and react quickly in an emergency. As a result, you should exercise extreme caution when driving vehicles.

Liver

People with liver diseases should consult their doctors before using Escitalopram.

Kidney

People with kidney diseases should consult their doctors before using Escitalopram. Depending on their condition, the doctor may change the dose of Escitalopram in kidney patients.

Alcohol

It is not suggested to drink alcohol while taking Escitalopram since it can exacerbate adverse effects like dizziness and concentrating difficulties.

Precautions

Inform your doctor if you are hypersensitive to Escitalopram or Escitalopram, or if you have other allergies. Inactive components in this product may trigger allergy reactions or other complications. For more information, consult your doctor. Inform your doctor about your medical history, especially if you have a personal or family history of bipolar or manic-depressive disorder, a family or personal history of attempting suicide, liver problems, seizures, low blood sodium, intestinal bleeding/ulcers (peptic ulcer) or bleeding disorders, and a family or personal history of glaucoma. Escitalopram has been linked to a heart rhythm disorder (QT prolongation). QT prolongation can induce dangerous (occasionally fatal)  irregular/fast heartbeat as well as other symptoms (such as extreme dizziness and fainting) that require immediate medical intervention. If you have specific medical problems or are using other medicines that may induce QT prolongation, your risk of getting QT prolongation may be increased. Before taking Escitalopram, inform your doctor or pharmacist of all the medicines you are currently taking, as well as if you suffer from any of these conditions: specific heart issues (heart failure, sluggish heartbeat, recent heart attack,  prolongation o QT in the EKG), a family history of specific heart conditions (prolongation of QT in the EKG, sudden cardiac death). Low magnesium and potassium levels in the blood may potentially raise your likelihood of QT prolongation. This risk may rise if you are using certain medicines (such as diuretics) or have problems such as excessive perspiration, diarrhea, or vomiting. Consult your doctor about how to use Escitalopram safely. Inform your doctor or dentist about all of the medicines you consume before undergoing surgery (including prescription, nonprescription and herbal medicines). Escitalopram adverse effects, particularly bleeding, incoordination, and QT prolongation, may be more severe in older persons. They could also be more prone to salt imbalances (hyponatremia), particularly if they are simultaneously taking (diuretics). Falls can be exacerbated by a loss of coordination. Children are more sensitive to the negative effects of Escitalopram, including lack of hunger and weight loss. Children who are using this medicine should have their height and weight measured.
