Yentreve (duloxetine) contains the active ingredient duloxetine. Yentreve increases the levels of serotonin and noradrenaline in the nervous system. Yentreve is a medicine to be taken by mouth to treat Stress Urinary Incontinence (SUI) in women. Stress urinary incontinence is a medical condition in which patients have accidental loss or leakage of urine during physical exertion or activities such as laughing, coughing, sneezing, lifting, or exercise. Yentreve is believed to work by increasing the strength of the muscle that holds back urine when you laugh, sneeze, or perform physical activities. The efficacy of Yentreve is reinforced when combined with a training program called Pelvic Floor Muscle Training (PFMT). Yentreve should not be used for children and adolescents under 18 years. Yentreve is for oral use. You should swallow your capsule whole with a glass of water.
