The cost reduction part is highly dependent on the number of generic makers who want to get in.
I work in HIV prevention and the first generic of Truvada went from 2000 for brand name to ~1400 for generic because for the first 6 months there was only one generic drug maker. After those 6 months were up the price plummeted and I think now list price for it is anywhere from 30-100 bucks.

Reply to The Vyvanse patent expires this year. How long does it usually take generic alternatives to get approved, and how much of a reduction in cost is expected on average? by paleselan1
