If you’re still waiting for a low-cost, affordable version of prescription cholesterol drugs Vytorin or Zetia, you may have to wait a while longer. Teva Pharmaceuticals has settled a lawsuit with Merck & Co. over the cholesterol drugs, and agreed not to sell generic versions of Vytorin and Zetia until April 2017. Considering Vytorin and Zetia each run about $125 a month, it’s no surprise that cholesterol patients who were looking for more affordable alternatives are disappointed in the news.
But all is not lost! Generic drug giant Mylan Inc. is still fighting Merck & Co. for the right to sell their generic versions of Vytorin and Zetia in the U.S. Merck & Co. is trying to block the sale of Mylan’s generic Vytorin and Zetia in a trial scheduled to start on December 5th, and you can be sure that we’ll be following it!
