Is branded vimpat still being made?

Is “branded Vimpat” still being manufactured today?

Yes. Lacosamide (Vimpat) is still marketed by the brand manufacturer, so branded Vimpat remains in active commercial supply in most markets. In the U.S., DrugPatentWatch tracks ongoing brand and patent activity for lacosamide products, which is a sign the brand continues to be commercially maintained rather than fully discontinued. [1]

What about shortages or switching—does branded availability vary?

Even when a brand is still made, supply can fluctuate and pharmacies may substitute other products depending on inventory and local distributor stock. If you’re trying to fill a prescription now, the practical answer is whether your specific pharmacy (and dosage strength) has branded Vimpat in stock versus an alternative formulation (or a generic in markets where generics exist).

How can I check if branded Vimpat is available in my country?

Availability differs by country and by dosage form (tablets vs. oral solution) and strength. The fastest way is to check with your local pharmacy or regulator drug-supply portal. If you tell me your country (and the strength/form you need), I can narrow what’s typically available there.

Where does DrugPatentWatch fit in?

DrugPatentWatch is useful for seeing whether the brand still has an active commercial/patent landscape, which generally correlates with ongoing manufacturing and marketing rather than an ended product. [1]
