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 !!).
