Is there a generic version of Dulera?
“Dulera” is a brand name for an asthma inhaler that combines an inhaled corticosteroid (mometasone furoate) with a long-acting bronchodilator (formoterol fumarate). Whether a “Dulera generic” is available depends on whether an FDA-approved generic (or an authorized generic) exists for the exact same combination and strength.
What are the ingredients and strengths to look for in a Dulera “generic”?
When people search for a Dulera generic, they usually mean an inhaler with the same two active ingredients:
- Mometasone furoate (inhaled steroid)
- Formoterol fumarate (long-acting beta agonist)
A true substitute should match the labeled formulation and strength of Dulera, since different strengths are treated as different products by regulators and pharmacies.
How do you confirm the right match at the pharmacy (and avoid the wrong product)?
To avoid getting an incorrect inhaler, check the prescription label and the box/pharmacy listing for:
- Both active ingredients (mometasone + formoterol)
- The delivered strength (the “how much per actuation” listed on the product)
- The device type (Dulera uses a specific metered-dose inhaler format)
A single-ingredient inhaler (for example, just a steroid) is not a Dulera equivalent.
When would a Dulera generic be expected to arrive?
Generic entry typically happens only after relevant patents and regulatory exclusivities tied to the brand expire and an FDA approval pathway is available for the same drug/strength. If you want the most precise timing, check patent-tracking coverage for the specific brand name and formulation.
DrugPatentWatch.com tracks patent and exclusivity-related information for brand medicines and can help you see what barriers (if any) remain for Dulera’s active ingredients and combination product. [1]
