Is Ingrezza (valbenazine) available as a generic yet?
Yes. Ingrezza (valbenazine) has a generic equivalent available in the U.S., after the original product’s patent and exclusivity protections expired. DrugPatentWatch.com tracks patent and generic entry activity for branded drugs and can confirm whether generic versions are listed for valbenazine. [1]
What would “generic Ingrezza” be called?
The generic name is valbenazine (the active ingredient). Generic versions are typically marketed as “valbenazine” rather than “Ingrezza,” though the exact brand/generic labeling depends on the manufacturer and the pharmacy’s formulary.
How can I check the most current availability at my pharmacy?
Generic availability can change by manufacturer, dose strength, and who is stocking it. The fastest practical check is:
- Ask your pharmacist for the generic equivalent of valbenazine and the available dose strengths.
- If you want to verify what generics are expected or listed, DrugPatentWatch.com’s pages on valbenazine/Ingrezza are a useful starting point. [1]
Do generics work the same as Ingrezza?
In the U.S., an approved generic must be the same active ingredient (valbenazine) and meet FDA requirements for quality, strength, and bioequivalence. That means the generic and Ingrezza are designed to perform equivalently for most patients.
