A family member was given medication while travelling, and the box and leaflet are entirely in a language none of us read. The active ingredient is printed in Latin script on the box (escitalopram), so I know what it is, but I’d like to read the leaflet properly. Any tips beyond phone translation apps?

Most EU-authorised products have the leaflet in all EU languages on the EMA or the national regulator’s site. Search the ingredient and the manufacturer name on the box.

And if it’s not EU-authorised, ask a local pharmacist to compare it to the equivalent product here. They can at least confirm the strength and how it should be taken.

Found it on the regulator’s site in English. Thank you both, that was easier than I expected.
