Read commonly asked questions about Cymbalta

If you have been diagnosed with fibromyalgia, living with the pain can be difficult on you and your loved ones. But you can find relief. Cymbalta is part of a total treatment program that can help manage the chronic widespread pain associated with fibromyalgia.

Cymbalta Is Proven

Cymbalta is a prescription medicine approved by the FDA for the management of fibromyalgia and has been proven to help reduce pain in people with fibromyalgia. When Cymbalta was studied in patients with fibromyalgia, many people felt significant pain reduction, compared with patients taking placebo, or sugar pills. Your individual results may vary.

What to expect from Cymbalta

What to expect from Cymbalta

Although the way Cymbalta works is not fully known, medical experts believe it increases the activity of two naturally occurring substances in the brain called serotonin and norepinephrine. These substances are thought to affect how much pain you feel.

Cymbalta Is Indicated for More Than One Condition

In addition to the management of fibromyalgia, Cymbalta is indicated for the treatment of depression and generalized anxiety disorder and the management of diabetic nerve pain. In the United States, Cymbalta has been prescribed for over 9 million patients, and it is safe and effective when used as directed.
