When did geodon come out?

When did Geodon first get approved and launch?

Geodon (ziprasidone) was first approved by the FDA in 2001.

Was it available at that exact time, or earlier as a different product?

The FDA approval in 2001 is the key “came out” date most references use for Geodon’s market debut (as ziprasidone). If you mean the first launch of the brand versus later versions (like new indications or dosage forms), those can have different timelines.

Why might different sources list different dates?

Some sources may cite dates for:
- Initial FDA approval (first release of Geodon)
- Later label expansions (new uses approved after launch)
- Generic entry or other product milestones

If you tell me whether you mean first FDA approval, first prescription/availability, or a specific milestone (like the first time Geodon was approved for a particular condition), I can narrow it to the right date.
