Desmethylcitalopram is an active metabolite of the antidepressant drugs citalopram (racemic) and escitalopram (the S-enantiomer which would be called desmethylescitalopram). Like citalopram and escitalopram desmethylcitalopram functions as a selective serotonin reuptake inhibitor (SSRI) and is responsible for some of its parents’ therapeutic benefits.
