Bariatric surgery and how escitalopram is absorbed
Treatments studied
Part of Hormones & metabolism clinical trials.
This study looks at how a common antidepressant, escitalopram, moves through your body before and after gastric bypass or sleeve gastrectomy. Results may help doctors better choose dosing for people taking this medication around the time of weight-loss surgery.

Who can take part
- You are scheduled for gastric bypass or sleeve gastrectomy in Central Norway
- You are a Norwegian citizen
- You have not had prior surgeries that cut or remove part of your digestive tract (GI tract)
