What are the generic (non-brand) names for duloxetine?
Duloxetine’s generic name is duloxetine. It is marketed under brand names such as Cymbalta (and in some regions also as other brand labels), but the active ingredient you’ll see on prescriptions is duloxetine.
What generic name should I look for on a prescription or label?
Look for the active ingredient spelled as duloxetine (often followed by the salt form and strength, depending on the product). If you’re trying to find the “generic name,” duloxetine is the key term.
Are there different generic “types” of duloxetine?
In practice, products may differ by formulation and strength (for example, extended-release vs. delayed-release), but the generic drug name remains duloxetine. The label may show the specific formulation type, such as an extended-release product, while still using duloxetine as the active ingredient.
