Duvanta Forte

Duvanta Forte Capsule is mainly prescribed for treating neuropathic pain (nerve pain), such as that seen in diabetic neuropathy, or other nerve-related issues. Duloxetine in Duvanta Forte Capsule is an antidepressant that reduces nerve pain, while methylcobalamin (active vitamin B12) in Duvanta Forte Capsule helps restore and protect nerve function.

Before taking Duvanta Forte Capsule, tell your doctor if you have a history of liver or kidney disease, glaucoma, mania, or seizures, bleeding disorders, bipolar disorder, or if you drink large amounts of alcohol. Also, mention to your doctor if you are pregnant, breastfeeding, or using other medications.

Individuals should not use Duvanta Forte Capsule if they are allergic to duloxetine, methylcobalamin, or any other ingredients present in it. Duvanta Forte Capsule must not be taken with medications called monoamine oxidase inhibitors (MAOIs), and it is not recommended for people with severe liver or kidney impairment, or uncontrolled glaucoma (narrow angle).

Serious side effects of Duvanta Forte Capsule include allergic reactions (swelling, rash, trouble breathing), severe skin reactions, liver problems (yellowing of eyes, or skin, dark urine), abnormal mood, or behavior changes (thoughts of self-harm), easy bruising, or signs of serotonin syndrome (agitation, fast heartbeat, hallucinations, muscle stiffness, or vomiting). Seek immediate medical help if you experience any of these symptoms.

No, Duvanta Forte Capsule is not habit-forming or addictive when used as prescribed by your doctor.

The exact time Duvanta Forte Capsule takes to show benefits is not known. However, relief from nerve pain may begin within a few weeks, but the full effect can take 2 to 4 weeks of regular use. Do not stop taking this medicine suddenly, and always follow your doctor’s advice for starting or stopping Duvanta Forte Capsule.
