At The Rx Advocates, we specialize in simplifying the application process, increasing your chances of approval. We go beyond a simple coupon, offering access to substantial savings. Let us help you ease the financial burden.

Once accepted, medication arrives consistently.

  • Coverage gaps: Even with coupons, can still be expensive

PAP advantages

  • Significant reduction: Medications at significantly lower prices
  • Expert guidance: Our experienced team guides you through each step
  • Peace of mind: Apply with ease and confidence

About Cymbalta

Cymbalta (duloxetine) is a prescription medication treating depression, anxiety disorders, and certain types of chronic pain.

How it works: Cymbalta belongs to a class called serotonin-norepinephrine reuptake inhibitors. It increases levels of serotonin and norepinephrine in the brain, which are neurotransmitters that regulate mood, emotions, and pain signals. By balancing these brain chemicals, Cymbalta alleviates symptoms of depression and anxiety while reducing chronic pain associated with conditions like fibromyalgia and diabetic neuropathy.

Administration: Available in delayed-release capsules in various strengths. Typically taken once or twice daily. Consistent daily use is essential for effectiveness.

Side effects:

  • Common: Nausea, dry mouth, drowsiness, fatigue, constipation, loss of appetite
  • Serious: Liver damage, serotonin syndrome, increased blood pressure, suicidal thoughts

Important warnings: Not recommended for patients with uncontrolled narrow-angle glaucoma. May increase risk of suicidal thoughts, especially in young adults. Do not stop taking Cymbalta abruptly without consulting your healthcare provider.

Depression, anxiety disorders, and chronic pain require consistent medication management to maintain stability and quality of life. When Cymbalta becomes unaffordable, treatment interruptions lead to symptom relapse and declining health.

Pharmaceutical companies fund assistance programs specifically to prevent this scenario. The challenge? Many people don’t know these programs exist. Others try to apply but give up when faced with complicated paperwork.
