Duloxetine gastro-resistant tablets are prescription SNRIs used to treat major depression, generalized anxiety, diabetic nerve pain, fibromyalgia, and chronic musculoskeletal pain. The gastro-resistant coating prevents the medication from dissolving in stomach acid, allowing it to pass into the intestines to protect the stomach lining.

Key Information:

• Mechanism: Increases serotonin and norepinephrine levels in the brain to regulate mood and stop pain signals.

• Administration: Swallow whole with water; do not cut, crush, or chew.

• Dosage: Common starting doses are 20mg or 30mg once or twice daily, potentially increasing to 60mg.
