WHAT DULOXETINE MYLAN IS AND WHAT IT IS USED FOR
Duloxetine Mylan contains the active substance duloxetine. Duloxetine
Mylan increases the levels of
serotonin and noradrenaline in the nervous system.
Duloxetine Mylan is used in adults to treat:
•
depression
•
generalised anxiety disorder (chronic feeling of anxiety or
nervousness)
•
diabetic neuropathic pain (often described as burning, stabbing,
stinging, shooting or aching or like
an electric shock. There may be loss of feeling in the affected area,
or sensations such as touch,
heat, cold or pressure may cause pain)
Duloxetine Mylan starts to work in most people with depression or
anxiety within two weeks of starting
treatment, but it may take 2-4 weeks before you feel better. Tell your
doctor if you do not start to feel
better after this time. Your doctor may continue to give you
Duloxetine Mylan when you are feeling
better to prevent your depression or anxiety from returning.
In people with diabetic neuropathic pain it can take some weeks before
you feel better. Talk to

POSOLOGY AND METHOD OF ADMINISTRATION
Posology
_Major depressive disorder _
The starting and recommended maintenance dose is 60 mg once daily with
or without food. Dosages
above 60 mg once daily, up to a maximum dose of 120 mg per day have
been evaluated from a safety
perspective in clinical trials. However, there is no clinical evidence
suggesting that patients not
responding to the initial recommended dose may benefit from dose
up-titrations.
Therapeutic response is usually seen after 2-4 weeks of treatment.
After consolidation of the antidepressive response, it is recommended
to continue treatment for several
months, in order to avoid relapse. In patients responding to
duloxetine, and with a history of repeated
episodes of major depression, further
