Description
Morcet 5mg Tablet - Escitalopram Low Dose SSRI
Morcet 5mg Tablet by IBL Operation (Searle) contains Escitalopram 5mg, a low-strength selective serotonin reuptake inhibitor (SSRI). This is a prescription required medicine often used as a starting or maintenance dose for patients new to SSRI therapy, the elderly, or those sensitive to higher strengths.
Escitalopram 5mg is prescribed for mild to moderate depression, generalized anxiety disorder, social anxiety, and panic disorder, and is helpful when titrating up gradually to minimize side effects.
Key Benefits
- Gentle starting dose with reduced side-effect burden
- Effective for mild depression and anxiety symptoms
- Allows gradual titration to optimal therapeutic dose
- Preferred initial strength for elderly patients
- Once daily convenience improves adherence
How to Use
Take Morcet 5mg Tablet once daily, with or without food, at the same time each day. Swallow whole with water. Full antidepressant effect may take four to six weeks. Never stop Morcet abruptly - sudden withdrawal can cause dizziness, mood swings, and flu-like discontinuation symptoms. Always taper under your doctor's guidance.
Safety Information
Report worsening mood, suicidal thoughts, agitation, serotonin syndrome signs, or unusual bleeding. Avoid concurrent MAOIs and other serotonergic agents. Discuss pregnancy and breastfeeding with your physician. Browse our mental health medicines collection or see the Searle Pakistan range.

Can I stop Morcet 5mg when I feel well? No. Discontinue only under medical supervision with a gradual taper to avoid withdrawal effects and relapse.
