Yentreve Medication:

Yentreve is a new antidepressant manufactured by Eli Lilly and Company. Yentreve is still pending approval from the FDA for the indication for the treatment of stress urinary incontinence symptoms.

At this time very few effectiveness studies are available.

Uses of Yentreve:

Yentreve offers relief from both the emotional and physical symptoms that are associated with depression. Yentreve is indicated for the treatment of major depressive disorder, as well as for the management of diabetic peripheral neuropathic pain (DPNP). A new antidepressant called duloxetine improved symptoms of fibromyalgia -- a chronic and painful musculoskeletal disorder in women.

How Yentreve drug works?

Yentreve works to help restore the balance of two naturally occurring chemicals in the brain and body: serotonin and norepinephrine. Research suggests that these chemicals play a role in both depression and diabetic peripheral neuropathic pain (DPNP). Dual uptake inhibitor means -- it simply means a drug that affects the reuptake of two neurotransmitters instead of one.

Lessened side effects for this class of drug (SNRI & SSRI) reported. No weight gain. Antidepressant effects should be reached after one week. People who are allergic to duloxetine hydrochloride or the other ingredients in Yentreve should not take it. If you are taking thioridazine or if you are taking or have recently taken a type of antidepressant called a monoamine oxidase inhibitor (MAOI), you should not take Yentreve.

How to Take Yentreve:

Take this medicine as directed. Do not stop taking this medicine abruptly without consulting with your doctor. Yentreve comes in a capsule and can be taken once a day. The recommended daily dose for Cymbalta is 60 mg. It appears as if the discontinuation syndrome for Yentreve (duloxetine hydrochloride) might be as harsh as that of Effexor (venlafaxine).  So if you have to stop taking, be careful and do so slowly.

What to do if you take Missed Dose of Yentreve?
