Apixaban generic availability?

Short answer:
- In the United States, as of June 2024 there is no generic apixaban available. Eliquis (the brand-name) is the only widely used product, and patent litigation/exclusivity have kept generics from entering the U.S. market for now.
- Availability of generics in other countries depends on local patent protections and regulatory decisions.

If you’re in a different country, tell me which one and I’ll share the current status there and any approved generics.

Where to check for the most current status:
- U.S. FDA Orange Book (patents and approved generics for apixaban)
- European Medicines Agency or your country’s regulatory authority for Europe or other regions
- Your pharmacist or insurer, who can confirm what is marketed in your area and any substitution rules

If cost is a concern, I can suggest options (e.g., alternatives with generics in your country, patient assistance programs, or switching considerations with your clinician).
