Dulane 30 mg Capsules 10’s

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:

• Duloxetine Hydrochloride (30 mg):
  • Duloxetine is a Serotonin-Norepinephrine Reuptake Inhibitor (SNRI). It works by increasing the levels of serotonin and norepinephrine in the brain, which helps to regulate mood, relieve anxiety, and alleviate pain.

Indications for Dulane 30:

Dulane 30 is used for the treatment of:

1. Depression: It is prescribed for managing major depressive disorder (MDD), helping improve mood and reduce the symptoms of depression.
2. Anxiety: Duloxetine is commonly used for generalized anxiety disorder (GAD), helping to manage excessive worry and anxiety symptoms.
3. Chronic Pain: It is effective for managing chronic pain conditions such as:
   • Fibromyalgia
   • Diabetic neuropathy (nerve pain due to diabetes)
   • Chronic musculoskeletal pain
4. 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.
