With the explosive growth in the generic drug market, generic companies (like yours) are in a battle to claim a share of the soon-to-be-expired drugs as quickly as possible. You would want to know as much as possible, and keeping that very thought in mind, we collated a list of 54 drugs that are going off-patent in 2024. We also included yearly sales, dosage information, ingredients, and the diseases they cure. This could help you easily choose the most profitable drug to develop a generic version of.
Loved the idea and the list? Thank us later in the comments section. Now onto the list.
