    Product Description

    (R)-Duloxetine is a serotonin and norepinephrine reuptake inhibitor (SNRI) and voltage-gated sodium channel inhibitor.1,2 It selectively inhibits neurotransmitter reuptake in HEK cells expressing the serotonin transporter (SERT) or norepinephrine transporter (NET; IC50s = 2.6 and 13.2 nM, respectively) over cells expressing the dopamine transporter (DAT; IC50 = 809 nM).1 It also selectively inhibits inactivated over resting voltage-gated sodium channels in GH3 rat pituitary cells (IC50s = 5.82 and 33.8 µM, respectively).2 Subcutaneous administration of (R)-duloxetine (2 mg) reduces allodynia and hyperalgesia in a rat model of postoperative pain induced by skin incision plus extension (SIE).

    WARNING This product is not for human or veterinary use.
