Can There Be Different Sizes Of Citalopram Pill For Same Dose?
(Newest replies first)
Updated
I just had to switch generic brands for my citalopram. I take 10mg; but this pill looks bigger than my old pill. Whereas the old one said .5 (or something to that effect), this one only has a "c" on one side. Is this really only 10mg?

That's a great help. Thanks a lot for replying.
Based on my research, the pill you are describing is in fact Citalopram hydrobromide 10 mg.
For verification, the size is: 6.00 mm
Manufacturer: Caraco Pharmaceutical Laboratories
National Drug Code (NDC): 57664-0507
From what I understand, it's not just the Citalopram taking up "real estate" in your pill. It's also filled with inactive ingredients (binders and fillers), "such as": corn starch, microcrystalline cellulose, polyethylene glycol, lactose monohydrate, magnesium stearate, and other things of that nature. Having more of these ingredients could explain the size difference compared to other tablets with less fillers and more Citalopram.
You can learn more about this drug on the page for Citalopram Details
I hope this info helps!
