Can Children Use It?

Duloxetine is not approved for use in childhood depression, anxiety, or nerve pain. Talk to your healthcare provider about the risks and benefits of using duloxetine in children with depression or nerve pain.

Off-Label Uses

On occasion, your healthcare provider may recommend duloxetine for something other than the conditions listed above. This is called an "off-label" use. At this time, using duloxetine to treat stress incontinence (loss of bladder control due to activities such as coughing, sneezing, laughing, or exercising) is an off-label use.
