When Will There Be a Generic Tamsulosin?
The first patent for tamsulosin expired in 2006. This was the earliest date that a generic version of tamsulosin could have become available. However, the FDA has not yet approved any generic versions of tamsulosin. There are many possible reasons why generic versions are not yet available, including lawsuits or other tamsulosin patents. Therefore, it is not known when a generic tamsulosin will become available. The next patent for tamsulosin expires in October 2009. It is possible that a generic tamsulosin may not become available until this time.
