Duvanta 20 MG Description

Duvanta 20 mg tablet is a prescription medicine used for treating anxiety disorder, depression, and neuropathic (nerve) pain. It is composed of Duloxetine 20 mg. It belongs to a class of medications

called selective serotonin and norepinephrine reuptake inhibitors (SNRIs). These medicines increase the levels of specific chemical messengers to regulate the mood and lower the pain caused by nerve damage. Duvanta capsule is an antidepressant medicine. It is used in treating depression, even in those who are not responding to other medications. It works by decreasing restlessness, stress, fear, irritability, loss of interest, and other symptoms of depression and anxiety. It can lower the pain in conditions like fibromyalgia, diabetic neuropathy, etc. You should take this medicine exactly as prescribed by a doctor, as it causes sleeplessness, constipation, low sex desire, etc. Most of these side effects do not need medical treatment but consult your doctor if they persist. It does not cause dependency issues. But, it should also be used with caution, as it has the tendency to cause mood changes and suicidal thoughts.
