How NEXITO 10MG TABLET Works

Escitalopram works by increasing the levels of a chemical called serotonin in the brain, which helps improve mood. Serotonin is a neurotransmitter that affects emotions, and people with depression or anxiety may have low levels of it. Escitalopram blocks the reabsorption of serotonin into nerve cells, which makes more serotonin available to improve communication between brain cells. This helps reduce symptoms of depression and anxiety over time.
