A stability-indicating gradient reverse phase liquid chromatographic purity and assay method for duloxetine hydrochloride (DUH) was developed and validated. DUH was subjected to the stress conditions and it is sensitive towards oxidative, acid and hydrolytic degradation. Successful separation of DUH from its two process impurities and one degradation impurity formed under stress conditions was achieved on a Symmetry C18, 250x4.6mm, 5microm column using a gradient mixture of solvent A (0.01M potassium dihydrogen orthophosphate having 0.2% triethyl amine, pH adjusted to 2.5 with orthophosphoric acid) and solvent B (20:80 v/v mixture of acetonitrile and methanol). The flow rate is 1ml/min and the detection wavelength is 230nm. The mass balance was found to be in the range of 99.2-99.7% in all the stressed conditions.

Tinnitus is a very common condition, and is a side effect of many medications. The panorama of drug-induced tinnitus has widened in recent decades, and post-marketing data are needed to gain a better insight into adverse drug reactions related to tinnitus. However, there are currently few studies on drug-induced tinnitus.

The use of antidepressant medications in the treatment of lichen simplex chronicus (LSC) also known as neurodermatitis, is not well-documented in the literature. The primary aim of our study is to evaluate the impact of duloxetine 30 mg on the quality of life in patients with LSC, focusing on both pruritus and psychopathological aspects. The secondary aim is to investigate the relationship between LSC and anxiety and depression.

Objective: Tapentadol causes fewer gastrointestinal adverse events than other potent opioid analgesics because of its low affinity for opioid receptors; however, development of symptoms related to central nervous system disorders, including delirium, has not been well-studied. This study aimed to identify the factors that influence the development of delirium after initiation of tapentadol therapy in hospitalized patients with cancer.
Design: Retrospective study.

First-bite syndrome (FBS) is manifested as acute and severe pain in the parotid region occurring at the first bite of a meal. While most cases of FBS arise after surgeries involving the deep lobe of the parotid gland, chemotherapy-induced FBS is extremely rare. Some adverse effects of oxaliplatin resemble FBS, suggesting it may be under-recognized.

Introduction: Sciatica is a debilitating condition that often becomes chronic, and for which there are few effective treatment options. Treatments such as the anti-depressant duloxetine have shown promise, but the evidence is inconclusive. We are describing a high quality, definitive trial to investigate the efficacy, safety and cost-effectiveness of duloxetine in chronic sciatica.
