Recent generic launches
The time it is taking for newly launched generics to be added to Category M, and subsequently having their
DT price cut is reducing. This is why maximising on the generic profit opportunities is so important to your
practices’ profitability.

Each month in our eNewsletter, and here in Top Tips, we highlight all the key generic launches in order for
you to make the relevant changes within your practice in order to take advantage of the profitability
against the Drug Tariff the new launches can generate.

Below is a list of some recent generic launches that we would like to remind you of, so you can ensure
your practice is using the generic in order to maximise your profitability. In addition to the profit these
generics can generate, there are also a number of new strengths and pack sizes available that may
benefit your patients.
