List – 91 Drug Patents that are Expiring between 2020 to 2022

This list has been updated on April 21, 2022, adding 35 drug patents that are expiring in 2022.

Which drug patents are expiring in 2020?

There are about a dozen websites on the internet answering this very question. We can definitely do better than that. How about the list of drugs that are going off-patent within the next 3 years? Much better.  How can we make it even better, say for generic companies?

With the huge growth in the generic drug market, there is no doubt that generic companies (hey there!) are searching for drugs with a soon-to-be-expired label. To make their (your) work easy, we collected not just the drug names but also included other information like yearly sales, treatment, ingredients, and the disease they cure, which could help them (you) easily choose a drug most profitable to develop a generic version. 

Without any delay, here is the list of drugs. Thank us later!

The article has a list of drug patents from 2020 to 2022. You can get the drug patents expiration list from 2026 to 2030 in a PDF by filling out the form below.
