Duleve 40mg Capsule is prescribed for depression, and anxiety disorder, and is also used for managing pain caused by fibromyalgia. It belongs to a class of drugs known as serotonin/norepinephrine reuptake inhibitors (SNRIs).

It functions as an inhibitor of serotonin and norepinephrine reuptake, aiming to balance and increase the levels of these neurotransmitters in the brain. By doing so, it potentially aids in managing stress symptoms without significant binding to neurotransmitter receptors.

It's essential to follow your doctor's guidance when taking. It can be taken with or without food, but maintaining a consistent daily schedule is recommended for better efficacy.

Some common side effects associated with this include headache, dry mouth, sleepiness, decreased appetite, blurred vision, fatigue, flatulence, and sweating

Combining this drug with other medications that also elevate serotonin levels (such as SSRIs, SNRIs, and some triptans) may increase the risk of serotonin syndrome. Symptoms of this condition include agitation, hallucinations, rapid heartbeat, fever, muscle stiffness, and nausea.

Individuals with liver impairment may experience higher drug levels. Dose adjustments or close monitoring might be necessary for those with liver dysfunction.

If a dose of this drug is missed, take it as soon as remembered. However, if the next dose is near, it's best to skip the missed one and resume the regular dosing schedule. Avoid doubling doses and seek guidance from your doctor on managing missed doses effectively.
