Study Summary

Escitalopram is the S-enantiomer of citalopram. Both escitalopram and citalopram are selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs) and are used to treat depression in adults. This study is designed to evaluate the efficacy and safety of a fixed-dose escitalopram combination relative to its component monotherapies and to placebo in patients with major depressive disorder.
