Celexa (Citalopram) is an antidepressant grouped into a class of drugs known as SSRIs or serotonin reuptake inhibitors. Celexa restores the balance of certain chemicals in the brain to correct some mood problems such as depression.

Celexa is taken orally once daily. The medication may be taken with or without food. The amount of Celexa a patient takes will vary. It is important to clarify any issues regarding dosage with your doctor or pharmacist. Celexa should be taken as directed.
