A judge has forced Actavis to continue selling 10 mg Namenda inspite of their attempt to take it off the market and switch to the more expensive version of the drug Namenda XR.
The 10 mg version of Namenda is scheduled to become generic in July, 2015. Shortly thereafter the drug is expected to fall in price by 70-80 percent.
We were paying more than $250 a month when Aricept went generic. You can now purchase a year supply of the drug for just over $100.
