Copies not yet on sale, by the earliest year each could reach the US market: a settlement or court date where one is public, otherwise the brand's US exclusivity date. "Now" means that date has passed. Court rulings and new patents can move these.

How those launches are going

  • StelaraBrand's US sales in Q2 2026: 20% of the quarter before copies
  • ProliaBrand's US sales in Q2 2026: 66% of the quarter before copies
  • XgevaBrand's US sales in Q2 2026: 52% of the quarter before copies

The brand owner's US sales, as it reports them. They show how fast copies took the market, not Sandoz's own sales. See the launch tracker →

How to read this

Each row is a copy Sandoz sells, holds an approval for, has filed, or is developing, for one of the 63 blockbuster drugs this site tracks. It is not Sandoz's full portfolio. "Other makers listed" counts the other companies on the same drug's list: how many sell a copy and how many more hold an approval. Brand owners and the FDA don't always name every filer, so a list can be incomplete; the drug page says so where we know.

Brand sales

2025 sales are what each brand earned, the size of the market at stake. They are not Sandoz's sales; several makers usually share a market once copies launch.

Sources

Every row is sourced on its drug's page: FDA Orange Book and Purple Book approvals, company releases and filings for launches, and court and company records for settlements. Company facts: MarketScreener.
