Combivir going generic
« on: July 06, 2011, 05:02:33 pm »
Seems Teva got FDA approval back in May to be the first company to manufacture a generic Combivir. Looks like when their generic comes out they are going to have a 180day exclusive on it. I really wonder how much cheaper the generic will be and if it's a tremendous savings..........i wonder with all the state ADAP's in such trouble.... if the ADAP's will buy the generic to save money. That is if the states dont already have contracts with the drug companies. If so same goes....when the contracts run out will they go generic on combivir. This is good news for me b/c my combo is viramune and combivir.

Note, it is typical for the first generic to get a 6 month exclusive arrangement -- that's how the law is set up to encourage someone to jump in relatively quickly (and deal with the former patent holder -- sometimes they sue the generic maker, etc.)

I don't know where generic Combivir will be priced but a rule of thumb is to assume a price reduction of over 75% once a drug has multiple generics.  This past year the average price of brand drugs went up 9% and the average price of generics declined by about 10% according to a report from Express Scripts (2010 Drug Trend Report) http://www.express-scripts.com/research/studies/drugtrendreport/
