Abstract
Treatment of interstitial cystitis with duloxetine did not result in significant improvement of symptoms. The drug administration was safe but the tolerability of the drug was poor mainly due to nausea occurring with the starting dose of 20 mg per day. Based on the preliminary data of this observational trial we currently cannot recommend duloxetine as a therapeutic approach for interstitial cystitis.
