WHAT ONELAR IS AND WHAT IT IS USED FOR
Onelar contains the active substance duloxetine. Onelar increases the
levels of serotonin and
noradrenaline in the nervous system.
Onelar 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)
Onelar 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 Onelar
when you are feeling better to
prevent your depression or anxiety from returning.
pildulocaps30mg1.6
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.

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
spcdulocaps30mg1.6
repeated episodes of major depression, further long-term treatment at
a dose of 60 to 120 mg/day
could be considered.
_Generalised anxiety disorder_
The recommended starting dose in patients with generalised anxiety
disorder is 30 mg once daily
with or without food. In patients with insufficient response the dose
should be increased to 60 mg,
which is the usual maintenance dose in most patients.
In patients with co-morbid major depressive disorder, the starting and
maintenance dose is 60 mg
once
