General & Family Physician,  's  Response
Hi,
Thanks for posting in HCM.
I understand your concern.
Nexito tablet contains 'Escitalopram' as ingredient.
It works by acting on the serotonin-system in the brain to normalize mood.
It needs to be taken in the morning as advised because it could cause sleep disturbance when taken at night, as 'insomnia' is one of the known side effect reported by use of this medication.
Kindly take the medication as advised and do the necessary follow-up as suggested.
Hope the information provided would be helpful.
All the best.
I find this answer helpful
