Medical Description

Dulex 20mg Capsule is used primarily to manage anxiety and depression. It is also used to assist in diabetic nerve pain, stress urinary incontinence, neuropathic pain, and fibromyalgia. This capsule works by increasing the levels of chemical messengers like serotonin and noradrenaline in the brain, which help maintain a proper mental balance. It ultimately stops the pain signals from reaching the brain. It has side effects like blurred vision, constipation, decreased libido, diarrhoea, dyspepsia, fatigue, insomnia, lethargy, nausea, sexual dysfunction, weakness, and increased thirst.
