Duloxetine

Duloxetine is a medication used to treat depression, anxiety, and certain types of nerve pain. It belongs to a class called serotonin and norepinephrine reuptake inhibitors (SNRIs), which work by balancing chemicals in the brain that affect mood and pain signals. By increasing these chemicals, duloxetine can help improve mood, reduce feelings of anxiety, and lessen nerve-related discomfort. It is usually taken daily and may take several weeks to show full effects. Like all medications, it can cause side effects, so it’s important to use it under a healthcare provider’s guidance.
