Duloxetine 60mg Gastro-resistant Tablets
SKU GME956Product Introduction
Duloxetine 60mg is a serotonin and noradrenaline reuptake inhibitor used for depression, generalised anxiety and selected chronic pain conditions, including diabetic neuropathic pain. The gastro-resistant tablet protects the medicine during passage through the stomach. Its effect on nerve pain is different from the action of an ordinary anti-inflammatory painkiller.
How to use
Swallow the gastro-resistant tablet whole with water; do not crush or chew the protective coating. It can be taken with or without food, at a consistent daily time. Dose increases are usually gradual so that nausea, dizziness and response can be assessed before further changes.
How it works
Duloxetine reduces the reuptake of serotonin and noradrenaline. This strengthens signalling in mood-regulating circuits and in descending pathways that limit the transmission of pain signals.
Side effects
Nausea, dry mouth, constipation, sweating, sleep disturbance, dizziness and sexual difficulties may occur. Jaundice, suicidal thoughts, severe confusion, or agitation with fever and muscle stiffness require urgent attention.
Important information
Blood pressure should be assessed before treatment and monitored during use. Tell your doctor about substantial alcohol intake, liver disease, severe kidney impairment, bipolar disorder, glaucoma, pregnancy and breastfeeding. MAO inhibitors, tramadol and other serotonergic medicines can cause serious interactions. Sudden withdrawal can cause dizziness, nausea and electric-shock-like sensations.
Uses
- Depression
- generalised anxiety disorder
- diabetic peripheral neuropathic pain and selected other chronic pain conditions.
Benefits
For depression and anxiety, a response can improve emotional functioning and engagement in daily life. For neuropathic pain, reduced burning or shooting pain may improve sleep and activity even when depression is not present.
Why is duloxetine used for nerve pain if I am not depressed?
Serotonin and noradrenaline also help regulate pain pathways. The pain benefit is not simply a result of improving mood.
How quickly can Duloxetine 60mg help?
Some symptoms may improve in the first few weeks, while a fuller mood or pain response can take longer. It is not intended as an immediate, occasional pain-relief tablet.
Is duloxetine addictive?
It does not cause the craving associated with addictive drugs. Physical discontinuation symptoms can nevertheless occur, so a planned gradual reduction is usually needed when treatment ends.
Is this tablet used in the same way as a sprinkle capsule?
No. Instructions allowing a particular capsule to be opened do not apply to a gastro-resistant tablet. The tablet's coating must remain intact during swallowing.
