escitalopram
Escitalopram, also known by the brand names Lexapro and Cipralex among others, is an antidepressant of the selective serotonin reuptake inhibitor (SSRI) class. It is approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for the treatment of adults and children over 12 years of age with major depressive disorder (MDD) and generalized anxiety disorder (GAD). Escitalopram is the (''S'')-stereoisomer (Left-enantiomer) of the earlier Lundbeck drug citalopram, hence the name ''es''citalopram. Whether escitalopram exhibits superior therapeutic properties to citalopram or merely represents an example of "evergreening" is controversial.〔(''NHS pays millions of pounds more than it needs to for drugs'' ), ''The Independent''.

The utility of antidepressant drugs in the treatment of mild-to-moderate depression is itself controversial. In those with very severe depression there is a large benefit.〔
