Generic-drug tsunami warning!

Patients currently taking prescription drugs should know that, over the coming months, an unprecedented number of expiring drug patents will unleash a virtual tsunami of generic drugs.

By October 2012, seven of the world's best-selling prescription medications are due to be available in generic form. Generic versions of highly popular drugs used to treat high blood pressure, asthma, diabetes, depression, high triglycerides, HIV and bipolar disorder are expected to hit the market by then.

This flood of generics is expected to persist for the next decade or so, during which time an estimated 120 brand-name prescription drugs will lose their market exclusivity. In the process, consumers can expect to benefit most in terms of reduced costs and improved health.
