Cymbalta 30mg

One of the antidepressant medicines prescribed to help with reducing the symptoms of depression is Cymbalta. It has also been prescribed for the treatment of moderate anxiety. There are other medical concerns too that can be improved with the use of this medicine for some individuals.

What is it Used for?

There isn’t a cure for depression, but Cymbalta can help to reduce the symptoms by changing the chemicals in the brain. As they become more balanced, then a person experiences better mood perceptions on a daily basis. While the main uses for this medication are depression and anxiety, there are other uses.

It may be prescribed for someone with Fibromyalgia and those with various forms of pain that is linked to various neurological disorders. Lower back pain and osteoporosis are also medical diagnoses that have been prescribed Cymbalta 30 mg.

Dosing & Administration

The use of Cymbalta 30 mg is going to be ongoing for the benefits to continue. If the medicine is no longer taken then the symptoms of depression are going to return/get worse. It is recommended to take this medicine in conjunction with counseling. It can take several weeks of using this medicine before an evaluation can be made to determine if it is helping. It may be necessary for the doctor to increase the dose to 60 mg.

This medicine is offered in a capsule form. It is taken once a day, and should be taken in the morning. To help reduce the risk of nausea, it should be taken with food and a full glass of water. Make sure you store this medicine away from sunlight and moisture as such conditions can reduce its effectiveness.
