Arysa Capsules 20mg

The active ingredient in Arysa capsules is escitalopram, which belongs to a class of medications known as selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs). Escitalopram works by increasing the levels of serotonin, a neurotransmitter in the brain that is involved in regulating mood, thereby alleviating symptoms of depression and anxiety disorders.
