Citalam Tablet contains Escitalopram Oxalate 5 mg, a selective serotonin reuptake inhibitor (SSRI) used in the treatment of depression, anxiety disorders, and related mood conditions. Escitalopram works by increasing serotonin levels in the brain, which helps restore emotional balance, improve mood, and reduce anxiety.

The 5 mg dose is usually prescribed as a starting dose for adults, particularly for patients who are sensitive to medications or may experience side effects at higher doses. It allows gradual titration to higher doses if required, ensuring effective symptom control with minimal adverse effects.
