Briviact, a medication used to treat seizures, is an anticonvulsant that gained FDA approval in 2017 under its brand-name label [1]. As a result, its initial market exclusivity is protected, preventing generic versions from entering the market. However, patent protections for Briviact are scheduled to expire in 2029 [2].
Generic alternatives to Briviact are expected to become available once patent expirations occur, providing patients with more affordable options for treating their conditions [3]. For now, Briviact remains a brand-name medication, but future changes to patent laws or regulatory decisions may accelerate the availability of generics.
