Brief Answer:
Sedation and cardiac side-effects

Detailed Answer:
Hello
Hello,
Thanks for choosing health care magic for posting your query.
I have gone through your question in detail and I can understand what you are going through.
S-zetalo has escitalopram in it and the excess dosage can cause anxiety, stomach discomfort, acidity, and sedation. IN some severe causes it may cause cardiac abnormalities and hence for the initial 24 hours the patient should ideally be under cardiac monitoring.
Hope I am able to answer your concerns.
If you have any further query, I would be glad to help you.
If not, you may close the discussion and if possible you may rate the answer for me, so that I get a good feedback.

Answered by Dr. Srikanth Reddy (20 hours later)
Brief Answer:
Anxiset is more harmful

Detailed Answer:
Hello
You had not mentioned anxiset in your first question. it is more harmful and cardiotoxic as compared to s-zetalo. However the side-effects generally last for 3-5 days after which things should settle down. However it would be wise to keep the patient under cardiac monitoring.
Kind regards
Dr. Srikanth Reddy
