WHAT YENTREVE IS AND WHAT IT IS USED FOR
YENTREVE contains the active substance duloxetine. YENTREVE increases
the levels of serotonin
and noradrenaline in the nervous system.
YENTREVE is a medicine to be taken by mouth to treat Stress Urinary
Incontinence (SUI) in women.
Stress urinary incontinence is a medical condition in which patients
have accidental loss or leakage of
urine during physical exertion or activities such as laughing,
coughing, sneezing, lifting, or exercise.
YENTREVE is believed to work by increasing the strength of the muscle
that holds back urine when
you laugh, sneeze, or perform physical activities.
The efficacy of YENTREVE is reinforced when combined with a training
program called Pelvic Floor
Muscle Training (PFMT).

POSOLOGY AND METHOD OF ADMINISTRATION
Posology
The recommended dose of YENTREVE is 40 mg twice daily without regard
to meals. After 2-4 weeks
of treatment, patients should be re-assessed in order to evaluate the
benefit and tolerability of the
therapy. Some patients may benefit from starting treatment at a dose
of 20 mg twice daily for two
weeks before increasing to the recommended dose of 40 mg twice daily.
Dose escalation may
decrease, though not eliminate, the risk of nausea and dizziness.
However, limited data are available to support the efficacy of
YENTREVE 20 mg twice daily.
3
The efficacy of YENTREVE has not been evaluated for longer than 3
months in placebo-controlled
studies. The benefit of treatment should be re-assessed at regular
intervals.
Combining YENTREVE with a pelvic floor muscle training (PFMT)
programme may be more
effective than either treatment alone. It is recommended that
consideration be given to concomitant
PFMT.
