A generic would generally be expected only after the drug’s relevant patent(s) and exclusivity protections expire.
No label support for expectations based on patents/exclusivity expiration.
A generic would generally be expected only after the FDA approves an abbreviated application (or another appropriate pathway).
No label support for generic-approval expectations or abbreviated application pathways.
Patent and exclusivity timing is usually tracked by industry patent databases.
No label support; this is not described in provided sections.
