Buy Cymbalta (Duloxetine) from Maple Leaf Medications.

What is Cymbalta? 

Cymbalta, with the generic name duloxetine HCl, is an oral medication used for major depressive disorder, generalized anxiety disorder, diabetic peripheral neuropathic pain, fibromyalgia, and chronic musculoskeletal pain. It also decreases nervousness and improves appetite, mood, sleep, and energy level. 

This selective serotonin and norepinephrine reuptake inhibitor (SNRI) has antidepressant, anxiolytic, and central pain inhibitory properties that may be due to the potentiation of noradrenergic and serotonergic activities in the central nervous system. This is available in Cymbalta 60 mg, 30 mg, and 20 mg capsule forms.
