FIBRO-D (Duloxetine 20mg)

FIBRO-D Tablet is a prescription medication used to manage several conditions such as depression, generalized anxiety disorder, nerve pain caused by diabetes (diabetic neuropathy), fibromyalgia (widespread muscle pain and tenderness), neuropathic pain, and stress-related urinary incontinence.

This medicine works by increasing the levels of certain brain chemicals—serotonin and noradrenaline—which help calm the nervous system, improve mood, and reduce the perception of pain. FIBRO-D Tablet can be taken with or without food, but it’s important to take it at the same time daily to maintain a steady amount in your body.

If you forget to take a dose, take it as soon as you remember. Do not skip doses, and complete the full course of treatment even if you start to feel better. Suddenly stopping this medication may cause your symptoms to return or worsen, so always consult your doctor before discontinuing.

Some common side effects include nausea, headaches, reduced sexual desire, vivid dreams, blurred vision, and a dry mouth. It may also make you feel dizzy or drowsy, so avoid driving or operating heavy machinery until you understand how the medication affects you. Most side effects are mild and temporary, but consult your doctor if they persist or become bothersome.

Before starting FIBRO-D Tablet, inform your doctor if you have any history of kidney, liver, or heart problems, or if you have ever experienced seizures. Also, notify your doctor if you observe any significant mood changes, new or worsening depression, or thoughts of self-harm.

In the treatment of stress urinary incontinence:
Stress urinary incontinence is a condition where urine leaks involuntarily, often triggered by actions such as coughing, sneezing, or physical activity.

As a result, it supports better bladder management and helps reduce accidental urine leakage.
