In reply to Cymbalta beads in stool, posted by islandangel on October 12, 2008, at 18:48:43
> I am a 40 year old woman with fibromyalgia, ulcerative colitis and enteropathic arthritis in hip and spine. I have been on Cymbalta for about a year. My dr. just upped the dose to 60mg about 8 weeks ago. I'm noticing the little white Cymbalta beads in my stool! Does this mean I'm not absorbing the drug OR not absorbing some of it? Any input is much appreciated.
~~~ The outer shell of the pill only holds the contents. The med is released via a hole with a meltable plug over it. If you were to, uh, examine the used shell you would find it empty of it's contents and thus the med was released.
