When Will There Be a Generic Tegaserod?
The first patent for tegaserod currently expires in 2013. This is the earliest date that a generic version of tegaserod could become available. However, there are other circumstances that could arise to extend the exclusivity period of tegaserod beyond 2013. These circumstances could include such things as other patents for specific tegaserod uses or lawsuits. Once the medicine goes off patent, there may be several companies that manufacture a generic tegaserod drug.
