Generic Amitiza

A generic form of Amitiza (lubiprostone) may not be available until 2011, when the patent expires. This eMedTV Web segment discusses various circumstances that may extend or shorten the period before generic Amitiza products will be available.

Generic Bentyl

Bentyl (dicyclomine) comes in several different generic forms and strengths. This page from the eMedTV archives describes the various generic Bentyl products and lists some of the drug companies that currently manufacture these drugs.

Generic Zelnorm

A generic for Zelnorm won't be available until at least 2013, when the patent for Zelnorm expires. As this eMedTV page explains, drugs currently sold as "generic Zelnorm" are fake, substandard, and potentially dangerous -- and shouldn't be purchased.
