A member asked:

Advice on my medicine please? can i drink with duloxetine

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Yes, with caution.: You should not combine Cymbalta (duloxetine) with chronic or heavy alcohol use due to possible increase risk to the liver. Caution is always advised when combining drugs that act in the brain, in this case alcohol and cymbalta (duloxetine).
