CLINICAL PARTICULARS
4.1
THERAPEUTIC INDICATIONS
Treatment of diabetic peripheral neuropathic pain in adults.
4.2
POSOLOGY AND METHOD OF ADMINISTRATION
For oral use.
_Adults _
The starting and recommended maintenance dose is 60 mg daily with or
without food. Dosages above
60 mg once daily, up to a maximum dose of 120 mg per day administered
in evenly divided doses,
have been evaluated from a safety perspective in clinical trials. The
plasma concentration of
duloxetine displays large inter-individual variability (see 5.2).
Hence, some patients that respond
insufficiently to 60 mg may benefit from a higher dose.
Response to treatment should be evaluated after 2 months. In patients
with inadequate initial response,
additional response after this time is unlikely.
The therapeutic benefit should be reassessed regularly (at least every
three months) (see Section 5.1).
_Elderly _
No dosage adjustment is recommended for elderly patients solely on the
basis of age. However,
caution should be exercised when treating the elderly (see section
5.2).
_Children and adolescents _
There is no experience in children and adolescents (see section 4.4).

_Hepatic impairment_
DULOXETINE BOEHRINGER INGELHEIM should not be used in patients with
liver disease
resulting in hepatic impairment (see sections 4.3 and 5.2).
