134 Escitalopram

Episode 134 – Escitalopram

Escitalopram is a really useful SSRI that is quite commonly prescribed by Veterinary Behaviour Specialists or veterinarians with a strong interest in Behaviour Medicine but is possibly sometimes overlooked by general practitioners. So, I thought we'd do a bit of a deep dive into escitalopram and the things you, as professionals, need to know about this medication.

Here's what you'll learn: · Indications for and uses of escitalopram in Veterinary Medicine · Why escitalopram might be a good choice for fearful and anxious patients · When Escitalopram might be a better choice than fluoxetine (if legally possible – the dreaded cascade !!). · Potential drug interactions and contraindications.

This is a bit of a whistlestop tour into escitalopram, but if you'd like to dive even deeper, I've got you covered – My PSYCHOACTIVE course contains everything you need to know: https://katrin-jahn.mykajabi.com/psychoactive
