Best Answer

The patent for Lyrica will expire October 2013. This means that the manufacture will no longer hold the rights to its formula leaving the door open for generics. Usually when the patent runs out the generic becomes available the third to last week of the month. So expect that generic Lyrica will be available for purchase around October 23, 2013. And just for note it is expected to NOT lower the cost by much. In fact when a new medication is the first of its kind it can take years before the price finally lowers, so don't expect it on Walmart's list of $4 generics

No. Lyrica is protected by copyright and only available as brand name. Lyrica is sufficiently unique to make substitution unlikely.
