Citalopram is an SSRI used in the management of depression, anxiety, OCD, and PTSD.

How do you manage the risk of citalopram causing QTc prolongation? I discuss it further in the podcast.

Geriatric dosing with citalopram is recommended to be lower than traditional adult dosing. I discuss this further in the podcast.
