Dexlansoprazole. The generic of Dexilant has been available for over four years.
Isn’t there a generic - Dexlansoprazole. My Doctor just prescribed it to me and told me it was the generic of Dexilant. I’ve been on Dexilant for quite a long time.
If you notice this question is from 24 August 2010, at that time there was no generic Dexilant, now in 2022 there is a generic version.
You are right. I didn’t check the date. Thanks
You are welcome.
Because Dexilant is protected by patents, no generic version of this medication is available at this time. The first patent is set to expire in December 2020, which is the earliest predictable date that a generic Dexilant may be manufactured. It's important to note that dexlansoprazole is the "generic name" for this product; it is not a "generic version."
Dexilant is made by Takeda Pharmaceuticals North America, Inc.
Take care
