List – 54 Drug Patents that are Expiring in 2024
In our last article, we discussed the drug patents expiring in 2023. We are mid-way to 2022 and we like to stay on top of the data. You too?
Well, if you are from the pharma domain, working on the development of generics, you have got to!
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 other information like yearly sales, dosage information, ingredients, and the diseases they cure. This could help you easily choose the drug most profitable to develop a generic version.

Conclusion
As a drug patent expires it expands the gateway for a number of competitors to enter the market. Tracking these patent expirations beforehand can not only help evaluate business opportunities but also help in refining market entry strategies. But there still lies legal as well as technology threats and hurdles that a generic company will face depending on the drug they choose for the generic version.
With proper research and threat analysis, developing a generic version wouldn’t be as terrifying. How to go about it? Well, let’s start with getting in touch by filling the form below and we’ll get back to you in no time.
