I have just started Cymbalta and when I received the drug information….it was made in Geo, India. I am not happy….then when I read the not-active ingredients…I was shocked….I am an R.N. and will contact my physician to see if somehow I can get my drug from Eli Lilly…….so: Everyone: read where these drugs are manufactured…
Hi Bernadette, Thanks for joining the conversation. Where exactly did you buy this Cymbalta? Sometimes foreign versions of drugs sold in the U.S. have different inactive ingredients.
Hi,
I ordered Cymbalta BRAND from CanadaDrugStop which bought it from Turkey. IS this international Cymbalta the same as USA Lilly? It should; same company?
Please advise.
Thanks
Hi Chaim, In order to get the most accurate information, you must consult CanadaDrugStop.com regarding your specific order.
I dealt with http://www.truenorthmeds.com
They only supply Canadian made medication. The package has english and french writing on it and also says made for Canada
