With the huge growth in the generic drug market, there is no doubt that generic companies (you too?) are searching for drugs with a soon-to-be-expired label. So we decided to further up our game and extract all the drug patents expiring this decade. So far we have published the drug patents expiring in 2026 and 2027. And today, I come bearing the list of drugs going off-patent in 2028.
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.
Without any delay, here is the list of drugs. Thank us later!
The article has a list of drug patents expiring in 2028. You can get the drug patents expiration list from 2026 to 2030 in a PDF by filling out the form below.
