Drug action
For duloxetine
Inhibits the re-uptake of serotonin and noradrenaline.
Indications and dose
For duloxetine
Major depressive disorder
for duloxetine
By mouth
Adult
60Â mg once daily, dose can be increased if necessary up to a maximum of 120Â mg per day in patients who are responding to treatment and have a history of repeated episodes of major depression.
Generalised anxiety disorder
for duloxetine
By mouth
Adult
Initially 30Â mg once daily, usual maintenance 60Â mg once daily, dose can be increased if necessary up to a maximum of 120Â mg per day.
Diabetic neuropathy
for duloxetine
By mouth
Adult
60Â mg once daily, discontinue if inadequate response after 2 months; review treatment at least every 3 months; dose can be increased if necessary up to a maximum of 120Â mg daily in divided doses.
Moderate to severe stress urinary incontinence
for duloxetine
By mouth
Adult (female)
40 mg twice daily, patient should be assessed for benefit and tolerability after 2–4 weeks, alternatively initially 20 mg twice daily for 2 weeks, this can minimise side-effects, then increased to 40 mg twice daily, patient should be assessed for benefit and tolerability after 2–4 weeks.
Important safety information
Important safety information
For duloxetine
SNRI antidepressant medicines: small increased risk of postpartum haemorrhage when used in the month before delivery
Serotonin and noradrenaline re-uptake inhibitors (SNRIs) are known to increase the risk of bleeding due to their effect on platelet function. Observational data suggest that the use of SNRIs in the last month before delivery may increase the risk of postpartum haemorrhage. Healthcare professionals should continue to consider the benefits and risks of antidepressant use during pregnancy, and the risks of untreated depression in pregnancy.
Healthcare professionals should also consider this finding in the context of individual patient risk factors for bleeding or thrombotic events. Anticoagulant medication in women at high risk of thrombotic events should not be stopped but healthcare professionals should be aware of the risk identified.
Cautions
Cautions
For duloxetine
Bleeding disorders; cardiac disease; elderly; history of mania; history of seizures; hypertension (avoid if uncontrolled); raised intra-ocular pressure; susceptibility to angle-closure glaucoma
