Description
Dulane 30 is a medication containing Duloxetine Hydrochloride (30 mg) as the active ingredient. This is a delayed-release capsule, meaning the drug is released gradually in the body over time, which helps reduce the likelihood of stomach irritation and ensures controlled release.
Active Ingredient:

- Stress Urinary Incontinence: Duloxetine is sometimes used to treat stress incontinence (leakage of urine when coughing, sneezing, or during physical activity).
How it Works:
Duloxetine increases the levels of serotonin and norepinephrine in the brain and spinal cord, which helps improve mood, reduce anxiety, and alleviate pain.
