In reply to Estorra, AmbienSR, generic Sonata available yet?, posted by fachad on December 12, 2004, at 14:34:07
estorra-
the PDUFA date is wed (dec 15th). the fda will have to provide some sort of response before then. if approval goes through, then look for a 1-2 month roll-out timeframe.http://www.forbes.com/markets/commodities/2004/12/02/1202automarketscan08.html
ambien CR - the company doesn't expect market launch until mid-2005 so I wouldn't expect it before then.sonata
er, not sure about the generic progress -- even though a patent expires, the company can hold up potential generic competitors for years in the courts. as for the extended-release version by the original maker -- King pharmaceuticals -- it wont be available for at least a year or two (phase ii).other hopeful approvals...indiplon IR/MR and Ramelteon also have potential to reach the shelf sometime in 2005.
