Duloxatine
Were you looking for information about
Duloxetine
? Duloxatine is a common misspelling of duloxetine.
Duloxetine hydrochloride (
Cymbalta
®
), an
antidepressant
that is available by prescription, is used to treat
depression
, peripheral
diabetic neuropathy
pain, and
generalized anxiety disorder
. It is a type of
serotonin-norepinephrine reuptake inhibitor
(
SNRI
) and works to alleviate
symptoms of depression
and
anxiety
by blocking the reuptake of norepinephrine and serotonin when the levels become unbalanced. It is thought that duloxetine works to treat neuropathic pain by blocking the nerve pain signals in the spinal cord or brain. Duloxetine is not suitable for everyone. Before taking the medication, be sure to tell your healthcare provider if you have
bipolar disorder
, any
allergies
, or liver disease.
