Clinical Overview

Duloxetine is a potent, balanced dual serotonin and norepinephrine reuptake inhibitor (SNRI). It inhibits both 5-HT and NE reuptake in the central nervous system, boosting descending inhibitory pain pathways and elevating mood. Gastro-resistant formulation protects the acid-labile drug from gastric degradation. Indicated for major depressive disorder, generalized anxiety disorder, diabetic peripheral neuropathic pain, fibromyalgia, and chronic musculoskeletal pain.
