Hi,

Nexito contains escitalopram oxalate which belongs to the group of antidepressants known as selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs) which is widely prescribed to treat depression and other mental health conditions like anxiety, panic disorder and obsessive compulsive disorder.

Side effects of Nexito are loss of libido, delayed ejaculation, decreased orgasm in women, decreased urine output, constipation or diarrhoea, dry mouth, decreased appetite, joint pain, confusion, convulsions, fast heartbeat, fatigue, increased sweating, difficulty in sleeping, nausea, vomiting, allergic reactions etc. These side effects will go away after stop taking this medicine. But, abruptly stop talking this medication may cause unpleasant side effects that are known as withdrawal effects. If you suffer from any side effects of this medication or want to quit this medication, consult your doctor.

Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Zubayer Alam, General And Family Physician
