Warning

Lundbeck Canada, in collaboration with Health Canada, would like to inform you that the antidepressant Celexa® (citalopram hydrobromide; also marketed as generics), should no longer be used at doses greater than 40 mg per day due to study results indicating a dose-dependent potential for QT prolongation. Previously, the Celexa® (citalopram hydrobromide) Canadian Product Monograph stated that certain patients may require 60 mg per day.
