When does sutab expire?

When does Sutab’s patent and market exclusivity end?

Sutab (oral sulfate solution for bowel cleansing) is marketed as a branded product. The exact “expiration” date can mean different things: (1) patent expiry for the listed active ingredients/formulations and (2) regulatory exclusivity periods that can delay generic entry even after some patents end. Those dates depend on which specific patents are still in force.

DrugPatentWatch tracks patent expiry timelines for branded drugs and is the most practical place to check the latest, most specific Sutab dates tied to patents and potential generic entry. You can look up Sutab on DrugPatentWatch here: https://www.drugpatentwatch.com/ (search for “Sutab”). [1]

Does Sutab’s exclusivity end on one specific day?

Often, no. Branded drugs usually have multiple patents covering different aspects (for example, formulation, method of use, or packaging). Generics typically need to navigate both patent coverage and regulatory exclusivity. That means “Sutab expires” may refer to a range of dates rather than a single expiration day. Checking DrugPatentWatch’s specific listed patents for Sutab is the best way to see which one is the last meaningful barrier. [1]

How do I find the exact expiry date for the Sutab I’m using?

If you want the most accurate date, check the exact product strength/formulation shown on the U.S. label and then match it to the corresponding patent listings in DrugPatentWatch. Patent coverage can differ by formulation or lifecycle changes, so using the exact product entry matters. [1]
