How does Lexapro / Escitalopram work?
The Cipralex in Lexapro works as a selective serotonin and norepinephrine reuptake inhibitor (SSNRI). Its effect helps normalise levels of the enzyme serotonin in the brain. Disturbances in the serotonin system of the brain are key factors in the development of depression and related disorders. By keeping serotonin levels in check and the enzyme levels normal, Cipralex ensures treatment of depression and other mental disorders.
