Famotidine paten?

See the DrugPatentWatch profile for Famotidine

It looks like you’re asking about famotidine patent (the patent status/coverage for famotidine). A quick clarification: do you want information on the original brand patent or current generic patents / exclusivity in a specific country (US, EU, India, etc.)?

In the meantime, here’s the general picture:

  • Famotidine is an old drug (originally developed in the 1970s). Because of that, most patents for the original product have long expired, so generic famotidine is widely available.
  • In many countries, the “patent” you’ll see today is typically related to specific formulations (e.g., special-release/combination products) or new manufacturing/uses, not the original active ingredient itself.

If you tell me:

  1. Which country you care about (US/EU/UK/India/etc.), and
  2. Whether you mean brand name (like Pepcid) or a specific product/form (e.g., tablets, liquid, extended/modified release, combination),

…I can help you figure out what patents/exclusivities are most relevant and how to look them up (e.g., FDA Orange Book in the US).
