Medical Forum / Diseases and Disorders / Herpes / October 2003when will valtrex go generic?
When will Valtrex go generic? Does any body know the date? > When will Valtrex go generic? Does any body know the date? Well 30 secs gives me a 1992 paper mentioning it. That would mean its had at least 11 years out of the patent - plus the time before that to file and so on. I'll see if I can find the patent filing in the European Patent office datafiles (they are web browsable and it should pull the US filing as well) Then its what 20years from that date isnt it, or is it 25....

Given there is public information in 1992/3 we are looking 20 years of patent starting in 1989 and thelater territories where patents wer obtained over the next couple of years.
