US Cymbalta approval

November 8, 2010

THE US Food and Drug Administration has approved Eli Lilly’s Cymbalta (duloxetine HCl) for the treatment of chronic musculoskeletal pain. The approval follows clinical trials in patients with chronic lower back pain where the drug was proved to lessen patients pain. At present, scientists have been unable to pinpoint exactly how Cymbalta stops pain, but have surmised that it increases the activity of serotonin and norepinephrine in the brain and spinal cord.
