  Celexa, Citalopram Hydrobromide Pharmacology - HealthyPlace.com
Citalopram is a racemic mixture (50/50), and the inhibition of 5-HT reuptake by citalopram is primarily due to the (S)-enantiomer.
Citalopram steady state levels were not significantly different in poor metabolizers and extensive 2D6 metabolizers after multiple-dose administration of Celexa, suggesting that coadministration, with Celexa, of a drug that inhibits CYP2D6, is unlikely to have clinically significant effects on citalopram metabolism.
Citalopram was not mutagenic in the in vitro mammalian forward gene mutation assay (HPRT) in mouse lymphoma cells or in a coupled in vitro/in vivo unscheduled DNA synthesis (UDS) assay in rat liver.

 CITALOPRAM
Citalopram is widely distributed throughout the body with an apparent volume of distribution of 15 L/kg (Kragh-Sorensen et al, 1981; Milne and Goa, 1991; Sweetman, 2000).
Citalopram is metabolized in the liver primarily via N-demethylation, deamination, and N-oxidation to less lipophilic compounds which are more readily excreted by the kidney (Milne and Goa, 1991; Sweetman, 2000).
Approximately 12% to 13% of a dose of citalopram is excreted as unchanged drug in the urine (Oyehaug and Ostensen, 1984; Milne and Goa, 1991; Sweetman, 2000).

Citalopram appears to be safe in trichotillomania, and it may be effective in a subset of patients.
Citalopram together with fluoxetine, fluvoxamine, paroxetine and sertraline belong to the group of SSRIs, so named because of their pharmacological action as selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors in rat brain synaptosomes-their potency of inhibiting noradrenaline uptake is low and, from a clinical point of view, irrelevant.
Citalopram, fluoxetine and paroxetine were given in doses of 10, 20, 40 and 80 mg and fluvoxamine was given in doses of 25, 50, 100 and 200 mg.
