About Yentreve
Yentreve is manufactured by Eli Lilly and company and contains duloxetine hydrochloride, a serotonin-norepinephrine reuptake inhibitor (SNRI), as its active ingredient.

FAQs
Answers to Popular Questions About Yentreve
What is Yentreve?
Yentreve is a brand name for duloxetine 40 mg capsules, specifically licensed in the UK for the treatment of moderate to severe stress urinary incontinence (SUI) in women. It is an SNRI (serotonin and noradrenaline reuptake inhibitor) that strengthens the urethral sphincter during the storage phase of the bladder cycle. Yentreve is a prescription-only medicine and is used when pelvic floor exercises alone have not sufficiently improved symptoms.
How does Yentreve help with stress incontinence?
Yentreve increases serotonin and noradrenaline levels in the sacral spinal cord (Onuf’s nucleus), which controls the pudendal nerve supplying the external urethral sphincter. This enhanced neurotransmitter activity increases the resting tone and contraction strength of the sphincter, helping to prevent urine leakage during physical activities such as coughing, sneezing, laughing, or exercise. Clinical trials showed a 50–60% reduction in incontinence episodes compared to placebo.
How do I take Yentreve?
Take one Yentreve 40 mg capsule twice daily (morning and evening), with or without food. Swallow capsules whole — do not crush, chew, or open. The recommended treatment course is 2–4 weeks initially to assess response, continuing for up to 12 weeks if beneficial. Yentreve should be used alongside pelvic floor muscle training for the best results. If no improvement is seen after 2–4 weeks, discuss with your prescriber.
What are the side effects of Yentreve?
Very common side effects include nausea (affecting up to 25% of patients, usually improving within the first week), dry mouth, constipation, insomnia, fatigue, and dizziness. Common side effects include headache, diarrhoea, decreased appetite, increased sweating, and tremor. Nausea is the most frequently reported reason for discontinuation. Taking Yentreve with food may help reduce nausea. If side effects are troublesome, discuss with your prescriber.
Can Yentreve be stopped suddenly?
No, Yentreve should be tapered gradually over 1–2 weeks to avoid withdrawal symptoms such as dizziness, nausea, headache, and paraesthesia (tingling or ‘brain zaps’). Your prescriber will advise on a suitable tapering schedule. Even at the 40 mg twice daily dose used for SUI, abrupt discontinuation can cause withdrawal effects.
How can I get Yentreve?
Yentreve requires a prescription from your GP, urologist, urogynaecologist, or online prescriber such as NowPatient. It is available on the NHS. Your prescriber will assess the severity of your stress incontinence, previous conservative treatments (pelvic floor exercises), and suitability for duloxetine therapy.
