Symbal 20 MG Description

Symbal 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 drugs called s

elective serotonin and norepinephrine reuptake inhibitors (SNRIs). This drug increases the levels of specific chemical messengers to regulate the mood and manage the pain caused by nerve damage. The Symbal capsule is an antidepressant medication. It is used in treating depression, even in those who failed to respond 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 caused by nerve damage in conditions like Fibromyalgia, diabetic neuropathy, etc. You should take this medicine exactly as prescribed by the doctor, as it causes sleeplessness, constipation, low sex drive, etc. Most of these side effects do not need medical attention but consult your doctor if they persist. It should also be used with caution, as it tends to cause mood changes and suicidal thoughts. It does not cause addiction issues in the correct dosage.
