Celexa is a prescription medication used to treat depression. It contains the active ingredient citalopram hydrobromide and comes in tablet form. Celexa helps improve mood and feelings of well-being by restoring the balance of certain natural substances (serotonin) in the brain.

Who Should Not Take Celexa?

Do not take Celexa if you are allergic to citalopram or any of its ingredients.

Do not take Celexa if you are currently using or have used an MAOI (Monoamine Oxidase Inhibitor) within the last 14 days.

Celexa should not be used with the antipsychotic drug pimozide or if you have a condition called QT prolongation or congenital long QT syndrome.

Warnings and Precautions:

Suicidal Thoughts: Celexa may increase the risk of suicidal thoughts and behavior in children, teenagers, and young adults. Close monitoring is essential.

Heart Issues: Celexa can cause changes in the electrical activity of your heart (QT prolongation). Inform your doctor if you have heart problems, low levels of potassium or magnesium in your blood, or a family history of heart problems.

Pregnancy and Breastfeeding: Celexa should only be used during pregnancy if the potential benefits outweigh the risks. It is excreted in human milk; consult your doctor if you are breastfeeding.
