Chronic Pain and Depression

Chronic musculo-skeletal pain syndromes are often associated with variable amount of depressive illnesses. Treatment of such patients purely by using analgesics often proves futile. A comprehensive approach with involvement of psychotherapist is often mandatory.

In a recent report, US-FDA had approved the use of Duloxetine hydrochloride for use in conjunction with nos-steroidal and opioid analgesics.
The molecule has been is use in India for some time now, and has given improved results when used together with analgesics.

  1. I know many people with chronic pain and Nigun lives as before the disease and did not find a solution. In Findrxonline found that hydrocodone is a drug that relieves the pain and recommended them. Today all and can live their life without this great nuisance "pain", especially hydrocodone found a new friend.
