How Duloxetine works

Duloxetine increases two brain chemicals, serotonin and noradrenaline, that help regulate mood and also dampen pain signals travelling along the nerves and spinal cord.

Many people take Duloxetine without any trouble. When side effects do occur they are usually mild, and may include:
