Use

This test is useful for monitoring duloxetine serum concentration during therapy, evaluating potential duloxetine toxicity, and assessing patient compliance. Duloxetine is an antidepressant of the serotonin-norepinephrine reuptake inhibitor class, effective in treating symptoms of depression, including physical pain associated with depression. It is also used for neuropathic pain, fibromyalgia, and urinary stress incontinence. The test helps in understanding the potential for drug interactions and managing conditions related to serotonin uptake inhibition.
