Is brilinta available in generic?

Is there a generic version of Brilinta (ticagrelor) yet?

Brilinta (ticagrelor) is not widely available as a true generic in many markets, largely because the product is still protected by patents and related exclusivity that limit competition.

What would count as “generic Brilinta”?

A true generic would be an approved, fully substitutable version of ticagrelor. If you see a “generic” product sold without that type of approval, it may not be equivalent or may not be authorized for substitution.
