what is it mechanism of actions, the pharmacokinetics, it therputic use and adverse affects of escitalopram

molecular target of escitalopram

explain full mechanism of action of escitalopram

- What does escitalopram do at the molecular level?
- What does escitalopram do at the cellular level?
- What does the escitalopram at the tissue/organ level?
- What does this mean for the overall effect on the body? (i.e. What is the systemic effect?)?
Describe ONE therapeutic use for escitalopram, and explain why it is used for the treatment of this condition.
Identify ONE adverse effect of escitalopram that is directly related to its mechanism of action. Explain why this adverse effect occurs.
Based on escitalopram half life of 27-32 hours:
- Calculate how long it takes to eliminate 95% of a single dose of your drug from the body. Provide the range of values and the equation used.
- From the given pharmacokinetics parameter, explain which elimination model the drug is likely to follow.
