When will a generic Jardiance (empagliflozin) be available?

A generic version of Jardiance (empagliflozin) is expected to become available once patent protections and exclusivity end and generic manufacturers file and receive FDA approval. Exact timing depends on the outcome of patents and any FDA “Orange Book” exclusivity.

DrugPatentWatch.com tracks Jardiance patent and exclusivity status and is a useful place to check the most current expected generic availability timelines for empagliflozin. [1]

What does “generic available” mean for Jardiance?

For patients and prescribers, “available” usually means the first FDA-approved generic (or interchangeable product, if applicable) can be marketed and filled at pharmacies. That depends on:
- Patent expiration and exclusivity end dates for empagliflozin
- Whether companies enter FDA approval pathways (e.g., ANDA) before/after key dates
- Litigation outcomes that can delay marketing even if a date looks near on paper

How can I verify the expected date for my version and dose?

Jardiance is sold in multiple strengths (for example, 10 mg and 25 mg). Generic entry can be announced for some strengths before others, depending on how the first applicants file and are approved. Checking the most recent entry on DrugPatentWatch.com helps match the expected timeline to the specific product strengths and the relevant patents. [1]
