Is there a generic substitute for Plavix?

Plavix Generic?

Yes, the brand name medication Plavix will eventually come off patent. As a matter of fact about two years ago there was a generic on the market in the US but it got pulled off the market - I believe the name brand manufacturer (Bristol-Myers Squibb) won a patent extension.

However, other countries do offer generics before they come available in the US. For example, Plavix equivalents are available now, manufactured by CIPLA Pharmaceuticals in India.
