What is Generic Cymbalta?

For the first time, the active substance used in the antidepressant medication known in the U.S. and the UK mostly as Cymbalta was patented in 1990. Then the medication was protected by the exclusive patent and the manufacturing of the pills was possible by the inventors only. However, the exclusive patents for medications expire or are reconsidered if the medication is included in the list of essential medicines composed by the World Health Organization. This allows other drug producers to start manufacturing the same medication using the original formula. However, these medications must be named differently when they enter the market. Collectively, they are called generics of a certain medication they replicate. For instance, you can find an analog of Cymbalta if you look for Generic Cymbalta instead. Why would you need that? Generics are much cheaper than the branded medications because of several reasons. First of all, their makers do not discover the formula. Secondly, they do not invest in advertising or promotion of their medications. Thirdly, they are usually sold and manufactured in the developing countries where only the low prices would be reasonable as people who live in those countries are unable to pay the sums the drug makers in the developed countries ask for their medicines.

Is Generic Cymbalta worse than the original?

The cheaper price of the generic can mislead you into thinking that the medication is inferior to the original branded medicine. But it is not so. First of all, as we have already said, the generics are made using the same formula. Secondly, there are valid reasons for these medicines to be cheaper without compromising their quality. These factors are also mentioned above. Thirdly, in no country any medication can enter the market without being properly tested and approved by the health care authority, an analog of the American FDA. Therefore, you can buy Cymbalta without any worries about the medication's quality and effectiveness if you get the medication from a reliable vendor. You can also easily check if you are being offered the right medication checking the active substance of the drug which is written under the trade name. In case of this antidepressant, it would be Duloxetine.

When should I buy Cymbalta?

You may think that antidepressants are used for the treatment of depression only but it is not quite so. They are used for various conditions including generalized anxiety, neurological pains accompanying various conditions, obsessive-compulsive disorder, manic disorders, and so on. However, antidepressants differ. They differ by classes and methods of effect.

Generic Duloxetine, the active substance of Cymbalta and its generics is included in the class of serotonin reuptake inhibitors. It influences the reuptake of serotonin by the neurons that release it. This allows coping with the deficit of serotonin which is considered one of the main factors of depression development.

However, the medication also affects the reuptake of norepinephrine and dopamine, two neurotransmitters which deficit is also believed to be the basis for various mental conditions.

The best time to buy Duloxetine is when your doctor prescribes you the medication. However, if you believe that it can be more suitable for you than the other medicines prescribed by your healthcare provider for the conditions Cymbalta is indicated such as major depressive disorder, diabetic peripheral neuropathic pain, or generalized anxiety disorder, you can ask your therapist whether you can start using this antidepressant instead.
