> No. r-citalopram is supposed to responsible for the side-effects, at least for more side effects than s-citalopram. Thats why they leave the r-isomere away. Lilly is planning this with Prozac (fluoxetine) too.
The Prozac one didn't work out for Lilly because at higher doses R-Fluoxetine caused cardiac side effects. That has been ditched... The next big hope out of Lilly is Duloxetine. Another dual acting pump inhibitor.Scott
