DULOREN-40 TAB 10

About

DULOREN-40 TAB contains Duloxetine, a serotonin-norepinephrine reuptake inhibitor (SNRI) that increases the levels of serotonin and norepinephrine in the brain and spinal cord. This dual action contributes to its efficacy in treating a range of conditions beyond depression. Duloxetine is indicated for major depressive disorder, generalized anxiety disorder, diabetic peripheral neuropathic pain, fibromyalgia, and chronic musculoskeletal pain. By modulating these neurotransmitters, it helps to improve mood, reduce anxiety, and alleviate chronic pain. Its broad spectrum of action makes it a versatile medication for patients experiencing both psychological and physical symptoms. Therapeutic effects for mood disorders typically emerge after several weeks, while pain relief may be observed sooner. Long-term use requires careful monitoring and adherence to prescribed dosages.
