About DULGA 20 mg Capsules

DULGA is a prescription medicine containing Duloxetine, a Serotonin-Norepinephrine Reuptake Inhibitor (SNRI) used to manage certain mental health conditions and chronic pain disorders.

Duloxetine works by increasing the availability of serotonin and norepinephrine, two chemical messengers involved in mood regulation and pain signalling.

By influencing these neurotransmitters, Duloxetine helps manage symptoms of depression, anxiety and certain chronic pain conditions in appropriately selected patients.

DULGA is available in oral capsule formulations and should be used under medical supervision.
