List – 55 Drug Patents that are Expiring in 2026

Which drug patents are expiring in 2023? how about 2024? and 2025?

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 in 2026? Much better. Don’t you like to stay a step ahead of your competitors! We get you.

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 the drug most profitable to develop a generic version 4 years in advance. 

So, without any delay, here is the list of drug patents expiring in 2026. Thank us later!
