That is very interesting... So Lilly will be making the generic here most likely.

Lilly makes their drugs in Turkey... that is very very interesting!

Many brand name companies make the generic ultimately. Pfizer is one of the best known for doing this...thru Greenstone products.

Some companies make the raw chemical and sell it to generic houses, as well.

Cymbalta in US is a capsule, not a tablet.
Quote:
Each capsule contains enteric-coated pellets of 22.4, 33.7, or 67.3 mg of duloxetine hydrochloride equivalent to 20, 30, or 60 mg of duloxetine, respectively. These enteric-coated pellets are designed to prevent degradation of the drug in the acidic environment of the stomach. Inactive ingredients include FD&C Blue No. 2, gelatin, hypromellose, hydroxypropyl methylcellulose acetate succinate, sodium lauryl sulfate, sucrose, sugar spheres, talc, titanium dioxide, and triethyl citrate. The 20 and 60 mg capsules also contain iron oxide yellow.

Do your tablets say "enteric coated" ?
