The fact that Nardil is made in France raises another question for me though: unless they are being transported to the US in cooled containers (which is expensive!) I think it's likely that, during transport, they are exposed to temperatures above room temps, at least during summer. Think of containers standing in the sun, they'll get quite hot inside.

Im from europe (germany) too and first i got the uk generic version from archimedes (i think its the former concord version). When i got it they told me to store it at 2 to 8 degrees. When i heard that i told the pharmacist that it wont be possible for me to keep it under those controlled coditions so i asked the pharmacist to call archimedes pharm. if it is essential to keep it at those temperatures all the time and they said YES, just for a few hours its ok to have them at room temperature. Then i asked what to do an the pharmacist called the importer to find out if there are nardil versions that dont have to be stored in the fridge. they told to import the us version of pfizers nardil, i dont have them yet, but i will need them if i stay on it! I think it has something to do with the manufacturing process an mainly with the inactive ingredients. I could imagine that there are two places were nardil is made. the question why there are two original pfizer versions, one that has to be cooled (european) and the other that hasnt (US) remains unexplained to me!
