134 Escitalopram

Episode 134 – Escitalopram   Escitalopram is a really useful SSRI that is quite commonly prescribed by Veterinary Behaviour Specialists or veterinarians with a strong interest in Behaviour Medicine but is possibly sometimes overlooked by general practitioners. So, I thought we'd do a bit of a deep dive into escitalopram and the things you, as professionals, need to know about this medication.   Here's what you'll learn: ·         Indications for and uses of escitalopram in Veterinary Medicine ·         Why escitalopram might be a good choice for fearful and anxious patients ·         When Escitalopram might be a better choice than fluoxetine (if legally possible – the dreaded cascade !!). ·         Potential drug interactions and contraindications.   This is a bit of a whistlestop tour into escitalopram, but if you'd like to dive even deeper, I've got you covered – My PSYCHOACTIVE course contains everything you need to know: https://katrin-jahn.mykajabi.com/psychoactive   And, if you'd like to learn how escitalopram and other Veterinary Psychopharmaceuticals can be applied practically, then The Behaviour Case Collective, where we take a deep-dive into one real-life Behaviour Case every month, might be just the thing for you! https://katrin-jahn.mykajabi.com/behaviour-case-collective   If you'd like to book a 30-minute Vet-Vet or Vet-Pet Care Professional Consultation with me, you can do that right here: https://calendly.com/trinityvet/teams-and-professionals If you can't find an appointment time to suit you, please email us at info@trinityvetbehaviour.com to find a time that suits us both!   And if you'd like some amazing E-Books including Client Handouts and Professional Guides, then have a look here: https://katrin-jahn.mykajabi.com/trinity-ebook   If you liked this episode of the show, Veterinary Behaviour Chat, please LEAVE A 5-STAR REVIEW, like, share, and subscribe!   Facebook Group: Join The Veterinary Behaviour Community on Facebook   You can CONNECT with me: Website: Visit my website Trinity Veterinary Behaviour Instagram: Follow Trinity Veterinary Behaviour on Instagram Trinity Veterinary Behaviour Facebook: Join us on Trinity Veterinary Behaviour's Facebook page Trinity Veterinary Behaviour YouTube: Subscribe to Trinity Veterinary Behaviour on YouTube LinkedIn Profile: Connect with me on LinkedIn   Thank you for tuning in!
