Thanks for clearing that up.
Your first post said tablets.
I looked at Wiki.... you might want to read this link.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Duloxetine
It contains this comment...
So that might be why this drug is not made in Indiana.
This drug has several other names also, as listed on that Wiki article in the beginning. Many drugs today are manufactured out of the US. Puerto Rico is one location for example.
This article discusses drug manufacture outside the US.

This article is alarming too:

Before I retired, there was a massive recall of Lipitor in the US,
with Pfizer claiming black market pirated identical looking tablets were being inserted into the wholesale pipeline. All patients at RiteAid on Lipitor were sent letters to return it to
the store for exchange!

This article explains counterfeit drugs:
So one is not really safe even in the US anymore.
Contacting the company, like you did, Apollo, is a good idea.
I have to wonder why you are asking this now when you purchased them in 2010? Do you have left over, you intend to use?
If so, check the expiration date. In the US most states require a one year max once the drug is purchased. Cymbalta has a sensitive content with enteric coated pellets... it may not store well exposed to heat and/or moisture.
I'd add here too, for others reading here. Physician samples are often short dated, and expire quickly. Some doctors do not look at them carefully before giving to patients, so always check the expiration date on SAMPLES.
