WHAT NODETRIP IS AND WHAT IT IS USED FOR
Nodetrip contains the active substance duloxetine. Nodetrip increases
the levels of serotonin and
noradrenaline in the nervous system.
Nodetrip 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)
Nodetrip 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 Nodetrip
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 your
doctor if you do not fe

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 long-term treatment at
a dose of 60 to 120 mg/day
could be considered.
