WHAT ARICLAIM IS AND WHAT IT IS USED FOR
ARICLAIM contains the active substance duloxetine. ARICLAIM increases
the levels of serotonin
and noradrenaline in the nervous system.
ARICLAIM is used in adults to treat a condition called 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).
In people with diabetic neuropathic pain it can take some weeks before
you feel better. Talk to your
doctor if you do not feel better after 2 months.

CLINICAL PARTICULARS

THERAPEUTIC INDICATIONS
Treatment of diabetic peripheral neuropathic pain.
ARICLAIM is indicated in adults.
For further information see section 5.1.
4.2
POSOLOGY AND METHOD OF ADMINISTRATION
Posology
The starting and recommended maintenance dose is 60 mg daily with or
without food. Dosages above
60 mg once daily, up to a maximum dose of 120 mg per day administered
in evenly divided doses,
have been evaluated from a safety perspective in clinical trials. The
plasma concentration of
duloxetine displays large inter-individual variability (see section
5.2). Hence, some patients that
respond insufficiently to 60 mg may benefit from a higher dose.
Response to treatment should be evaluated after 2 months. In patients
with inadequate initial response,
additional response after this time is unlikely.
The therapeutic benefit should be reassessed regularly (at least every
three months) (see section 5.1).
_Paediatric population _
The safety and efficacy of duloxetine for the treatment of diabetic
peripheral neuropathic pain has not
been studied. No data are available.
_ _
_Special populations _
_Elderly _
No dosage adjustment is recommended for elderly patients solely on the
basis of age. However, as
with any medicine, caution should be exercised when treating the
elderly (see section 5.2).
