Auryxia (ferric citrate) mylan generic?

See the DrugPatentWatch profile for Auryxia

It sounds like you’re asking about Auryxia (ferric citrate) from Mylan as a generic—or whether a Mylan “generic” is available. Here’s the helpful breakdown:

What Auryxia is

  • Auryxia® = ferric citrate (an oral iron product)
  • Used to treat hyperphosphatemia in people with chronic kidney disease (CKD), especially dialysis patients.
  • It works by binding phosphate in the gut (and it also provides iron).

Is there a “Mylan generic”?

  • Mylan (now often under other brandings depending on the country and time) may have products that are marketed as ferric citrate generics.
  • Whether it’s specifically labeled as a “Mylan generic” depends on your country, pharmacy, and current approvals.
  • The key point is: if it’s a true generic, it should be ferric citrate and have comparable strength and dosing to Auryxia.

If you’re switching from Auryxia to a generic

In general, you should:

  • Confirm the exact product name on the bottle (e.g., “ferric citrate” with the strength in mg).
  • Make sure the dose schedule is the same (often taken with meals, but follow your prescriber’s directions).
  • Monitor labs your clinician checks (commonly phosphorus and sometimes iron studies/hemoglobin).

Quick safety notes (important)

Ferric citrate can cause:

  • GI side effects (constipation or diarrhea, nausea, dark stools)
  • Caution with iron overload or certain blood disorders—your clinician will guide this.

If you tell me:

  1. your country (US/Canada/UK/etc.),
  2. the strength on the Mylan bottle (mg per tablet), and
  3. what dose you were taking of Auryxia,
    I can help you verify whether the product you have should be considered equivalent and how to align dosing.
