| Popis: | Introduction: Duloxetine is an SNRI (selective serotonin norepinephrine reuptake inhibitor) class of drug widely used as an antidepressant. There is no doubt about its potential role in musculoskeletal pain but its indiscriminate use by physicians has probably started showing its dark side. CASE REPORTS: We present 3 case reports with manic symptoms with Duloxetine for condition other than Major Depression. DISCUSSION: While using Duloxetine, risk benefit ratio should be considered as mania may be a less common adverse effect but its seriousness cannot be undermined. CONCLUSION: A cautious approach is needed by physicians while prescribing Duloxetine. |
