Spanish term or phrase: didesmetil y desmetil
I assume "desmetil" is "demthyl" from what I have been able to fine, but my two undergraduate courses I took in chemistry umpteem years ago are not helping nor are my technical dictionaries, at least with "didesmetil"

"Didesmetil" is an intermediate product

Sin embargo, el comprido de Cipralex posee un contenido muy bajo de didesmetil y desmetil, que, aunque no se espera que existieran, es comprensible que existan si se tiene en cuenta que están presentes en un nivel bajo.

agree  fvasconcellos: Yes indeed. Didesmethyl and desmethyl citalopram are intermediates in the chiral resolution of citalopram to escitalopram (and, later on, products of escitalopram metabolism in the body)
