There is a risk from duloxetine in general can cause kidney and liver trouble in some, drinking alcohol while on this drug increases this likely hood and if your a alcoholic then my advice is to have 6 month blood tests of your kidney and liver functions. So if you don’t drink then it is extremely unlikely that this drug will cause your liver to become fatty

Hi,
Cymbalta or duloxetine is an antidepressant in a group of drugs called selective serotonin and norepinephrine reuptake inhibitors. There are two types of fatty liver:develops due to excessive consumption of alcohol and the other that develops in non-drinkers.    It is important that food habits: lack or very low physical activity and being overweight may be modified.  Take care and do keep us posted.
