This is one of those rare times where I am not posting because I want engagement, an argument, or a debate. I'm posting because I want people to be safe. If you, a friend, or a family member takes duloxetine (generic Cymbalta), please take a few minutes to check the lot number on the prescription bottle. Certain manufacturing lots have been recalled after elevated levels of impurities were found. Long-term exposure to these impurities may increase the risk of cancer. To be clear: this does NOT mean duloxetine itself causes cancer. The concern is related to specific recalled lots and manufacturing impurities. This is not a rumor. This is not fearmongering. This is not one of those chain-post Facebook hoaxes. Please take a few minutes to verify whether your medication is affected and contact your pharmacist or healthcare provider if it is. You can go back to disliking me tomorrow. Today, I just want people to be safe. I don't care if you like me. I don't care if you think I'm a clown. I don't care if you disagree with me politically. I don't care if you hate my guts. Put all of that aside for a moment. please share this!!!! #duloxetine #cymbalta #medicationrecall #healthalert #patientadvocacy - @one_ancient_outlaw
