Phil, the liver filters many drugs from our body. The liver performs many complex functions. Some of these are:
* To convert food into chemicals necessary for life and growth.
* To manufacture and export important substances used by the rest of the body.
* To process drugs absorbed from the digestive tract into forms that are easier for the body to use.
* To detoxify and excrete substances that would otherwise be poisonous.
* To regulate cholesterol.So most drugs go through the liver at some point. Cymbalta, according to my neuro, also says in the body for quite some time.
