Promacta Going Generic was created by michaellouisrichman
Hello, does anyone know when Promacta will go generic.  I've read something that suggested 2028 but was hoping it would be sooner.  My insurance covers it at $30/month now but I plan on retiring in a couple years which could mean the cost will skyrocket.  Any info on this would be greatly appreciated!

  • ITP since 2014. Retired nurse. My belief is empower patients to be involved as much as possible in their care. Read, read, read & ALWAYS question medics about the evidence base they use.

Also, from my understanding from what my hemo told me about Rituxin (which does now finally have generics I believe) the companies can sometimes/often play some games to extend their patents for a few years beyond the norm.
