A member asked:
Can 40 mg of cymbalta (duloxetine) be split in to (2) 20 mg capsules 12 hours apart? is this common due due its short half life?

Depends: Cymbalta (duloxetine) is given for various reasons. Dosing varies with patient response and also the reason for use. Therefore to answer "is this common" depends upon what subgroup you are discussing and also who is prescribing. 20mg twice a day is a recognized, standard prescribing pattern.
