When will linzess become generic?

Linzess (linaclotide) is already available as generic versions in the U.S., so it may be “generic” now depending on your pharmacy and dosage strength.

A couple quick ways to confirm:

• Check your exact strength (there are multiple: e.g., 72 mcg, 145 mcg, 290 mcg).
• Look at the label—if it says “linaclotide” (not “linaclotide capsules, brand name”), it’s the generic/authorized generic.
• You can also ask the pharmacist to check generic availability by NDC.

If you tell me your dose (72/145/290 mcg) and your country (U.S. or elsewhere), I can help you determine the most likely status for your specific product.
