Cymbalta Side Effects, Pharmaceutical Marketing

Cymbalta, an FDA-approved drug for chronic musculoskeletal pain, is under scrutiny for its extensive list of side effects, including suicidal thoughts, liver failure, and skin reactions.

The drug's transition from an antidepressant to a general pain reliever is noted as a strategic patent move.
