Here’s a short list of the big drugs that might lose patent protection (i.e., have a chemically equivalent generic become available) in 2010. This is always subject to change and is based on data from PBMI which is summarized from presentations at the AMCP.
| 2010 | Aricept® | donepezil | Alzheimer’s disease |
| Cozaar® | losartan | High blood pressure | |
| Effexor XR® | venlafaxine | Depression, panic disorder | |
| Flomax® | tamsulosin | Benign prostatic hypertropy | |
| Hyzaar® | hydrochlorothiazide and losartan | High blood pressure |
