Famotidine paten?

See the DrugPatentWatch profile for Famotidine

Do you mean the patent status of famotidine (the active ingredient) or a specific brand/formulation, and in which country?

Quick summary:
- The core patent covering famotidine has expired in most places, and famotidine is widely available as a generic.
- There can still be active patents in some jurisdictions on specific salt forms, formulations, combination products, or synthesis/manufacturing methods. Those can affect exclusivity for particular products.
- Patent status is jurisdiction-specific and can change with new filings or extensions.

If you tell me the country (and whether you want the basic composition patent or a particular formulation), I can give you a precise current status and point you to patent databases (Google Patents, USPTO/EPO/WIPO).
