The Efficacy of Citalopram or Escitalopram in Patients with Asthma and Major Depressive Disorder
CONCLUSION: Citalopram or escitalopram demonstrated efficacy in reducing depressive symptoms and the need for rescue oral corticosteroids in patients with asthma and MDD. Future work should determine whether SSRIs are effective at improving asthma outcomes in those with asthma who are not depressed.PMID:37952772 | DOI:10.1016/j.anai.2023.11.004 (Source: Annals of Allergy, Asthma and Immunology)

The Efficacy of Citalopram or Escitalopram in Patients with Asthma and Major Depressive Disorder
Background: Major depressive disorder (MDD) is common in people with asthma. Yet, few studies have examined depression treatment in those with asthma.Objective: To explore the relationship between antidepressant use, depressive symptoms, and asthma control, pooled data from three randomized trials of either citalopram or escitalopram were assessed.Methods: Linear fixed effects and binary logistic regression analyses were conducted with between-subject covariates including treatment group, (original) study, and demographics.

Cost-minimization analysis of escitalopram, fluoxetine, and amitriptyline in the treatment of depression
CONCLUSION: The choice of an antidepressant depends on multiple aspects, among which the cost of treatment plays a crucial role. Among the drugs compared, fluoxetine seems to offer greater value for money. The study emphasizes that selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors are the most commonly prescribed antidepressants not only because of their favorable pharmacological profile but also because of their affordability.
