Generic Lexapro vs Brand Lexapro
There are very minor differences between brand and generic Lexapro; both medications contain the medical ingredient Escitalopram Oxalate. Escitalopram is marketed by Lundbeck as Lexapro in the USA only; Lexapro is known as Cipralex and Seroplex in the rest of the world. Keep in mind that Blue sky drugs is a global pharmacy and your order of Lexapro may have an alternate name depending on its country of origin; an alternate name DOES NOT make the medication a generic. Generic Lexapro or Escitalopram is manufactured outside of a Lundbeck facility; this is the biggest difference between Lexapro and Escitalopram. Generic Escitalopram and Lexapro are identical in dose, strength, safety, efficacy, chemical makeup and therapeutic use. At Blue Sky Drugs, we stand behind our products 100% and only provide you with the highest quality products from fully licensed pharmacies. If you have any questions regarding the generic manufacturers for Lexapro or have any concerns feel free to contact us, call toll-free: 1-866-995-7387 or by email at: CustomerService@BlueSkyDrugs.com
How Escitalopram Works

It is used to treat individuals suffering from depression, obsessive-compulsive disorders and anxiety disorders. Escitalopram works by increasing the “happy hormone” Serotonin in the brain which in turn leads to a good mood. Treatment usually begins with a dose of 10mg daily, the dose will be determined by your doctor doctor, and the dose may be increased to a maximum of 20mg daily depending on the severity of your case. Your doctor may have prescribed Escitalopram for reasons other than those listed; therefore it is important to take this medication exactly as prescribed.
