Citalopram belongs to a class of drugs known as selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs). It is sold under the brand names Celexa™ (US), Cipramil™ (Europe and Australia) and Talohexane (Australia).

Citalopram was originally created by the pharmaceutical company Lundbeck although the patent for it expired in 2003, allowing other companies to legally produce generic versions.

Lundbeck has recently released a new SSRI drug called escitalopram oxalate (also known as Cipralex or Lexapro) derived from the citalopram molecule.

In the United States, the drug is marketed under the name Celexa™ by Forest Laboratories, Inc.
