Pharmacology

Duloxetine, the active ingredient in Stresin, is a selective serotonin and norepinephrine reuptake inhibitor (SSNRI). It inhibits the reuptake of serotonin and norepinephrine in the brain, thereby increasing the levels of these neurotransmitters. Duloxetine has no significant affinity for other receptors and does not inhibit monoamine oxidase (MAO).
