Enhances the effect of sumatriptan and other serotonergic drugs. Does not affect the action of ethanol, lithium preparations, benzodiazepines, antipsychotics (neuroleptics), narcotic analgesics, beta-blockers, phenothiazines, tricyclic antidepressants, antihistamines and antihypertensive drugs.

To a slight extent, it inhibits cytochrome P4502D6, and therefore weakly interacts with drugs, which are metabolized with its participation.

With the simultaneous administration of MAO inhibitors, it is possible to develop a hypertensive crisis (serotonin syndrome).

Cimetidine increases the concentration in the blood and enhances the effect of Citalopram.

With simultaneous administration of warfarin, PV increases by 5%.

Pharmacodynamic properties

Film-coated tabletsCoated tablets

Citalopram is an antidepressant belonging to the group of selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors. Having a pronounced ability to suppress serotonin reuptake, it does not have or has a very weak ability to bind to a number of receptors, including histamine, muscarin and adrenergic receptors. Citalopram inhibits cytochrome P4502D6 very little and therefore does not interact with drugs metabolized by this enzyme (the risk of side effects and toxic effects is lower).

The antidepressant effect usually develops after 2-4 weeks of treatment. Citalopram has practically no effect on the conducting system of the heart and BLOOD pressure, on hematological indicators, liver and kidney function, does not cause an increase in body weight.

Citalopram does not disrupt human cognitive functions, does not cause a sedative effect, in experimental studies, the drug did not find a teratogenic effect, effect on reproductive function and perinatal development of offspring.

Citalsipam (Citalopram)m, having a pronounced ability to suppress serotonin reuptake, does not or has a negligible ability to bind to a number of receptors, including histamine, muscarinic and adrenergic receptors. Inhibits cytochrome P4502D6 only to a small extent and therefore does not interact with drugs metabolized by this enzyme. Thus, side effects and toxic effects are manifested to a lesser extent. The antidepressant effect usually develops after 2-4 weeks of treatment. Citalsirgam (Citalopram)m practically does not affect the conducting system of the heart and BLOOD pressure, on hematological indicators, liver and kidney function, does not cause an increase in body weight. Citalsirgam (Citalopram)m does not disrupt human cognitive functions, does not cause a sedative effect. In experimental studies, the drug did not find a teratogenic effect, effect on reproductive function and perinatal development of offspring

Pharmacokinetic properties

Film-coated tabletsCoated tablets

The bioavailability of Citalopram is about 80% and is practically independent of food intake. Cmax plasma is reached by 2-4 h after administration. Binding to plasma proteins-less than 80%. In plasma is present in unchanged form. At doses of 10-60 mg / day, pharmacokinetic parameters have a linear dependence. The volume of distribution is 12 l / kg. the equilibrium concentration with a single daily dose is established by 7-14 days. Penetrates into breast milk.

Metabolized by demethylation, deamination and oxidation involving cytochrome P450 (isoenzymes CYP3A4 and CYP2C19) to form less pharmacologically active metabolites.

Tonne1/2 - 1.5 days. Excretion is carried out by the kidneys and with feces.

Patients over 65 years of age

A longer biological T is observed1/2 (1.5-3.75 days) and lower Cl values (0.08-0.3 l/min). Steady-state concentrations in elderly patients were almost twice as high as those in younger patients receiving the same dose.

Liver failure

In patients with reduced liver function, Citalopram is excreted more slowly. The biological half-life of Citalopram is almost 2-fold increased and the equilibrium plasma concentrations of Citalopram are almost 2-fold higher than in patients with normal liver function after administration of the same dose.

Renal failure

Excretion of Citalopram is slower in patients with a low to medium degree of decreased renal function with no significant effect on pharmacokinetics.

The bioavailability of citalsipam (Citalopram)ma when ingested is about 80% and practically does not depend on food intake. Cmax plasma is reached by 2-4 h after administration. Binding to plasma proteins-less than 80%. In plasma is present in unchanged form. At doses of 10-60 mg / day, pharmacokinetic parameters have a linear dependence. The volume of distribution is 12 l / kg. the equilibrium concentration with a single daily dose is established by 7-14 days. Penetrates into breast milk. Metabolized by demethylation, deamination and oxidation involving cytochrome P450 (isoenzymes CYP3A4 and CYP2C19) to form less pharmacologically active metabolites. You1/2 the drug is 1.5 days. Excretion is carried out by the kidneys and with feces.

Patients over 65 years of age. A longer biological half-life (1.5–3.75 days) and a lower clearance (0.08-0.3 l/min) are observed. Steady-state concentrations in elderly patients were almost twice as high as those in younger patients receiving the same dose.

Impaired liver function. In patients with reduced liver function, citalsipam (Citalopram)m is excreted more slowly. The biological half-life of citalsipam (Citalopram)ma is almost 2-fold increased and plasma equilibrium concentrations of citalsipam (Citalopram)ma are almost 2-fold higher than in patients with normal liver function after administration of the same dose.

Impaired renal function. Excretion of citalsipam (Citalopram)ma is slower in patients with a low to medium degree of decreased renal function with no significant effect on pharmacokinetics. Currently, the experience in the treatment of patients with severe renal insufficiency (creatinine cl <20 ml/min) is insufficient.

Inside. at any time of the day, regardless of the meal, once.

Depression: the recommended daily dose of Cipram (Citalopram) a is 20 mg. Depending on the individual patient's response to treatment and the severity of the disease, the dose can be increased, the maximum daily dose is 60 mg. Usually, the antidepressant effect of the drug is observed after 2-4 weeks of treatment. Antidepressant treatment should be carried out for a long time. Usually, to prevent relapse, treatment should be carried out for 6 months or even a longer period. Patients with periodic (recurrent) depression should be treated for several years to prevent the onset of later phases of the disease. In case of completion of treatment, Cipram (Citalopram) should be gradually canceled within a few weeks
