Can Elicea cause shortness of breath and breathing problems?
Good morning, can a feeling of shortness of breath enter after Elicea 5 mg? I started taking Elicea 5 days ago, the doctor prescribed me an initial dose of 5mg, which I have to increase after a week to 10 mg but I am still accompanied by a feeling of shortness of breath and difficulty breathing. This is so burdensome that it is difficult for me to focus on everyday matters. Is this a normal side effect?

Yes, if you are taking Elicea, you may have difficulty breathing. This may be related to an allergic reaction to escitalopram (the active substance in Elicea). Contact the doctor who prescribed the medicine immediately and inform them of the situation. Please note that side effects of medicines should be reported to your doctor or individually. By reporting side effects, you help other patients, including your loved ones, who may also need the same medicine one day. This step also allows you to gather more information on the safety of medicinal products and update data on them.
