Is there a generic for nexlizet?

Is there a generic for Nexlizet yet?

Nexlizet (a combination of bempedoic acid and ezetimibe) does not have a fully approved “generic Nexlizet” available based on the information provided here.

What would count as a “generic” Nexlizet?

A true generic for Nexlizet would mean an FDA-approved product that replaces the whole combination (bempedoic acid + ezetimibe) in the same fixed-dose formulation.

Some patients instead use the individual generic components (bempedoic acid and ezetimibe) as substitutes, but that is not the same as a generic version of the combination drug.

Could components be cheaper before a combination generic launches?

Often, after patents and exclusivity on the combination expire (or if they allow separate development), companies may offer generics for one ingredient first. That can create lower-cost options even when a single “generic Nexlizet” isn’t available.
