Duloxetine HCl - Overview

Duloxetine is a medication prescribed to some patients for certain types of depression, anxiety, and pain syndromes.

What Is Duloxetine Used For?

Duloxetine prescription medication is indicated for use for a variety of conditions, including some cases of depression, generalized anxiety, neuropathic pain, fibromyalgia and chronic musculoskeletal pain. Duloxetine is primarily marketed under the name Cymbalta in the United States. Duloxetine, like desvenlafaxine (Pristiq) and venlafaxine (Effexor), belongs to a class of medications known as selective serotonin and norepinephrine reuptake inhibitors (SNRI) and is meant for oral administration. Duloxetine impairs the reuptake of serotonin, leading to increased serotonin activity - similar to the medications citalopram (Celexa), desvenlafaxine (Pristiq), escitalopram (Lexapro), fluoxetine (Prozac), paroxetine (Paxil, Pexeva), and sertraline (Zoloft). Duloxetine also interferes with norepinephrine reuptake, leading to increased norepinephrine activity which may benefit some people.

Duloxetine - Dosage and Cost

Duloxetine medication is sometimes prescribed at a starting dose of duloxetine 30 mg daily and titrated, depending on the health needs of the patient, to duloxetine 60 mg daily. Ultimately, the prescribed duloxetine dose depends on the judgement of the prescribing medical provider. Following administration, duloxetine has an elimination half-life of approximately 12 hours and reaches peak plasma concentrations in approximately 6 hours. Duloxetine is eliminated in both the urine and the feces. While branded duloxetine capsules are more expensive, generic duloxetine is affordable, costing approximately 50 cents per duloxetine 60 mg capsule at most pharmacies in the United States. Duloxetine coupons can sometimes be found online. Additionally, some insurance plans will cover costs associated with a duloxetine HCl capsule prescription.
