Plavix Generic?

Yes, the brand name medication Plavix will eventually come off patent. As a matter of fact about two years ago there was a generic on the market in the US but it got pulled off the market - I believe the name brand manufacturer (Bristol-Myers Squibb) won a patent extension.

However, other countries do offer generics before they come available in the US. For example, Plavix equivalents are available now, manufactured by CIPLA Pharmaceuticals in India.

The generic name for Plavix is clopidogrel. However, it has been taken off the market due to patent violations, and probably won't reappear until late 2011.
