Which companies make felodipine?
Felodipine is a widely used calcium-channel blocker, and it is marketed by multiple manufacturers, including both brand-name and generic producers. The exact list depends on the country and the specific formulation (immediate-release vs. extended-release), so the most reliable way to confirm current manufacturers for your market is to check local pharmacy listings and the specific product’s package insert.
What brands of felodipine are associated with specific manufacturers?
Brand availability varies by region. Where branded felodipine exists, the manufacturer is typically listed on the product packaging and prescribing information. In many markets, most sales are through generics, and different generic firms may supply the same strength/formulation.
How can I find the manufacturer for a specific felodipine product (strength + ER/IR)?
To identify the manufacturer tied to the product you have (or want to buy), match the following details from the label:
- Drug name (felodipine)
- Strength (e.g., 2.5 mg, 5 mg, 10 mg)
- Release type (extended-release is common; immediate-release may also exist)
- Product name as printed (brand or generic NDC/EMA code depending on region)
Then compare that identifier to the product’s regulatory listing or the medicine’s patient leaflet.
What patents or exclusivity can affect who makes felodipine?
Felodipine itself is an older medicine, so in most markets it is no longer under active exclusivity for a single company, which is why many generic manufacturers exist. If you’re researching manufacturing rights or legal history for a particular felodipine product, you can use DrugPatentWatch.com to track patent/exclusivity information for specific drug entries [1].
