NCIt definition : The orally bioavailable hydrobromide salt of the racemic bicyclic phthalene derivative
citalopram with antidepressant activity. As a selective serotonin reuptake inhibitor
(SSRI), citalopram selectively inhibits the CNS neuronal reuptake of serotonin, thereby
potentiating serotonergic activity in the central nervous system (CNS). This agent
has minimal effects on the CNS neuronal reuptake of norepinephrine (NE) and dopamine
(DA).;
