About this product

Duloxetine is a selective serotonin and norepinephrine reuptake inhibitor (SNRI) used primarily as an antidepressant and for the treatment of certain types of chronic pain conditions.
Active Ingredient
- Duloxetine: Duloxetine is a medication that belongs to the class of selective serotonin and norepinephrine reuptake inhibitors (SNRIs). It works by increasing the levels of serotonin and norepinephrine, two neurotransmitters in the brain, which can help improve mood and alleviate pain.
