Dxt 20 MG Description

DXT 20mg Tablet is a prescription medication. It contains Duloxetine as its active ingredient. It is used to manage depression in adults, stress urinary incontinence in women, neuropathic pain, fibro

myalgia, chronic musculoskeletal pain and generalised anxiety disorder. Anxiety and depression are mental health disorders. These disorders can lead to feeling excessively sad, angry and unmotivated. Pain is an unpleasant feeling caused by the formation of certain chemicals in the body in response to an injury, tissue damage or disease. Stress urinary incontinence is urine leakage during moments of physical activity that increase abdominal pressure, such as coughing, sneezing, laughing, or exercise. These disorders may lead to a decrease in quality of life. Duloxetine helps manage these disorders by enhancing the effects of certain chemicals in the brain called norepinephrine and serotonin. This, in turn, will reduce the symptoms of these conditions. It is important to only take this medication on prescription by a doctor, at the exact dose and for the entire duration prescribed.
