Description

Es-Pramcit 5mg is an oral prescription medication produced by NABIQASIM Industries, formulated with Escitalopram as its core active component. As a member of the Selective Serotonin Reuptake Inhibitor (SSRI) family, this medicine functions by regulating serotonin levels within the brain, a key neurotransmitter responsible for mood regulation and emotional balance. The 5mg strength is often recommended as a starter dose or maintenance dose for patients who require a gentler introduction to Escitalopram therapy, particularly the elderly or those sensitive to standard dosing.

Ingredients

Each tablet contains Escitalopram Oxalate equivalent to 5mg of Escitalopram, combined with pharmaceutical-grade excipients that support the tablet’s structural integrity, consistent absorption, and stability over its shelf life.

Dosage Form

This product is formulated as an oral film-coated tablet, supplied in a pack of 14 tablets for short-term or introductory treatment courses.

Uses

Es-Pramcit 5mg is commonly prescribed for:

• Mild to moderate Major Depressive Disorder
• Generalized Anxiety Disorder (GAD)
• Panic-related disorders requiring a lower starting dose
• Dose titration purposes before adjusting to a higher strength

Your physician will determine the most suitable use based on your specific condition and response to treatment.

How To Use

Take Es-Pramcit exactly as directed by your healthcare provider, generally once a day, at the same time each day for best results. It can be taken with or without meals and should be swallowed with water without crushing or chewing the tablet. Consistency in timing helps maintain steady drug levels in your system. Never discontinue the medicine suddenly; your doctor may recommend a gradual tapering schedule if treatment needs to be stopped.

Side Effects

Most patients tolerate this lower dose well, though some may still experience mild reactions such as nausea, fatigue, dry mouth, or difficulty sleeping, especially during the first two weeks. Less frequent side effects can include dizziness, reduced appetite, or excessive sweating. Seek prompt medical care if you notice signs of an allergic reaction, unusual mood swings, or thoughts of self-harm.

Pregnancy & Breastfeeding

The use of Escitalopram during pregnancy should be carefully weighed against potential risks and only undertaken with a doctor’s approval. Since the medicine can transfer into breast milk, nursing mothers are advised to seek medical consultation before starting this treatment to ensure the safety of the infant.

Storage Instructions

Keep Es-Pramcit tablets stored in a dry, cool environment, protected from heat, humidity, and direct light, at a temperature not exceeding 30°C. Retain the tablets in their original blister packaging and store them safely away from children.
