First Viagra generic

March 14, 2016

TEVA Pharmaceuticals will begin to take a share of Pfizer’s blockbuster Viagra (sildenafil citrate) sales as the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) approved the first generic version of the erectile dysfunction drug last Wednesday. Consumers will need to wait until 2017 though before they can see savings with Teva spokeswoman Denise Bradley telling Focus that because of a 2013 pay-for-delay settlement with Pfizer, the Israel based company has agreed to not launch the generic until Dec 2017. Global generic giant Mylan Pharmaceuticals, parent of Alphapharm in Australia, also agreed with Pfizer not to launch its generic version of Viagra until 2017. At least nine other generic manufacturers have filed abbreviated new drug applications with FDA seeking approval for their versions of generic Viagra, according to the Regulatory Affairs Professionals Society report on the matter.
