⏳ Availability & generic status
FDA-approved generic versions are listed, and recent pricing/market data suggests they may be available — see Therapeutic equivalents.
Why the date isn’t exact: Generic timing can change because patents may be challenged, settled, licensed, added, removed, or worked around with a narrower label — and FDA approval does not always mean a pharmacy can get the generic today.
🛈 What do these terms mean?
- Patent
- Legal protection listed in the Orange Book that may delay generic approval or launch. Issued by the U.S. Patent & Trademark Office.
- Substance patent
- Covers the active drug molecule itself — the hardest to design around. A generic generally can’t launch until it expires.
- Formulation (product) patent
- Covers a specific formulation or dosage form. A generic can sometimes work around it with a different formulation.
- Method-of-use patent
- A patent covering one specific approved use of the drug — not necessarily the whole molecule. A generic can sometimes launch with a “skinny label” that carves out the protected use and keeps the others.
- Skinny label
- A generic label that omits a still-patented use when the FDA allows it — letting a generic reach the market for the unprotected uses.
- Exclusivity
- FDA-granted marketing protection, separate from patents — e.g. 5-yr new chemical entity, 7-yr orphan drug, or a +6-month pediatric extension.
- Paragraph IV
- A generic applicant’s formal challenge to a listed patent. It can potentially lead to earlier generic entry, but often involves litigation or a settlement.
- RLD / RS
- Reference Listed Drug — the brand product the FDA uses as the reference for generic applications. Reference Standard — the product the FDA expects generics to compare against in bioequivalence testing.
- TE / AB rating
- FDA therapeutic-equivalence rating. An AB rating generally means the FDA considers a generic therapeutically equivalent to — and substitutable for — the brand.
- LOE (loss of exclusivity)
- The latest patent or exclusivity currently listed — the loss-of-exclusivity / latest-listed-protection date shown on this page. Paragraph-IV challenges and settlements can move the real date earlier; FDA approval and a manufacturer’s decision to market can move it later.
Built from the FDA Orange Book. The bars above are scaled to each protection’s expiry; the red LOE marker is the last one to lapse.

⚠️ Warnings and Cautions ▾
5 WARNINGS AND PRECAUTIONS • Reversible hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal (HPA) axis suppression was observed and may occur with the potential for glucocorticosteroid insufficiency during or after treatment. ( 5.1 ) • Systemic effects of topical corticosteroids may also include Cushing’s syndrome, hyperglycemia, and glucosuria. ( 5.1 ) • Systemic absorption may require evaluation for HPA axis suppression.
( 5.1 ) • Use of potent corticosteroids on large areas, for prolonged durations, under occlusive dressings, or on an altered skin barrier may increase systemic exposure. ( 5.1 ) • Children may be more susceptible to systemic toxicity when treated with topical corticosteroids. ( 5.1 , 8.4 ) • Local adverse reactions may include atrophy, striae, telangiectasias, hypopigmentation, and allergic contact dermatitis.
Some local adverse reactions may be irreversible. ( 5.2 ) • Use of topical corticosteroids may increase the risk of posterior subcapsular cataracts and glaucoma. If visual symptoms occur, consider referral to an ophthalmologist for evaluation.
( 5.3 )
5.1Hypothalamic-Pituitary-Adrenal (HPA) Axis Suppression BRYHALI Lotion has been shown to suppress the hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal (HPA) axis. Systemic effects of topical corticosteroids may include reversible HPA axis suppression with the potential for glucocorticosteroid insufficiency. This may occur during treatment or upon withdrawal of treatment with the topical corticosteroid.
The potential for hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal (HPA) axis suppression with BRYHALI Lotion was evaluated in a study of 19 adult subjects with moderate to severe plaque psoriasis involving ≥20% of their body surface area (BSA). HPA axis suppression was reported for 1 (5.6%) subject at Week 4 and for 3 (15.8%) subjects at Week 8. All 3 subjects had normal HPA axis suppression test with discontinuation of treatment [see Clinical Pharmacology (12.2) ] .
Because of the potential for systemic absorption, use of topical corticosteroids, including BRYHALI Lotion, may require that patients be evaluated periodically for evidence of HPA axis suppression. Factors that predispose a patient using a topical corticosteroid to HPA axis suppression include the use of more potent corticosteroids, use over large surface areas, occlusive use, use on an altered skin barrier, concomitant use of multiple corticosteroid-containing products, liver failure, and young age. An adrenocorticotropic hormone (ACTH) stimulation test may be helpful in evaluating patients for HPA axis suppression.
If HPA axis suppression is documented, attempt to gradually withdraw the drug, reduce the frequency of application, or substitute a less potent steroid. Manifestations of adrenal insufficiency may require supplemental systemic corticosteroids. Recovery of HPA axis function is generally prompt and complete upon discontinuation of topical corticosteroids.
Systemic effects of topical corticosteroids may also include Cushing’s syndrome, hyperglycemia, and glucosuria. Use of more than one corticosteroid-containing product at the same time may increase the total systemic exposure to corticosteroids. Pediatric patients may be more susceptible than adults to systemic toxicity from the use of topical corticosteroids due to their larger surface-to-body-mass ratios [see Use in Specific Populations (8.4) ] .
5.2Local Adverse Reactions Local adverse reactions from topical corticosteroids may include atrophy, striae, telangiectasias, burning, itching, irritation, dryness, folliculitis, acneiform eruptions, hypopigmentation, perioral dermatitis, allergic contact dermatitis, secondary infection, and miliaria. These may be more likely with occlusive use, prolonged use, or use of higher potency corticosteroids, including BRYHALI Lotion. Some local adverse reactions may be irreversible.
5.3Ophthalmic Adverse Reactions Use of topical corticosteroids may increase the risk of posterior subcapsular cataracts and glaucoma. Cataracts and glaucoma have been…
🤒 Adverse Reactions ▾
6 ADVERSE REACTIONS • The most common adverse reactions (≥1%) were upper respiratory tract infection, application site dermatitis and hyperglycemia. ( 6.1 ) To report SUSPECTED ADVERSE REACTIONS, contact Bausch Health US, LLC at 1-800-321-4576 or FDA at 1-800-FDA-1088 or www.fda.gov/medwatch.
6.1Clinical Trials Experience Because clinical trials are conducted under widely varying conditions, adverse reaction rates observed in the clinical trials of a drug cannot be directly compared to rates in the clinical trials of another drug and may not reflect the rates observed in clinical practice. In randomized, double-blind, multicenter, vehicle-controlled clinical trials, 426 adults with plaque psoriasis were treated with BRYHALI Lotion and had post-baseline safety data. Subjects applied BRYHALI Lotion once daily for up to 8 weeks.

👥 Use in Specific Populations ▾
8 USE IN SPECIFIC POPULATIONS
8.1Pregnancy Risk Summary There are no available data on BRYHALI Lotion use in pregnant women to inform a drug-associated risk of major birth defects, miscarriage, or adverse maternal or fetal outcomes. In animal reproduction studies, increased malformations, including cleft palate and omphalocele, were observed after oral administration of halobetasol propionate during organogenesis to pregnant rats and rabbits. The available data do not support relevant comparisons of systemic halobetasol propionate exposures achieved in the animal studies to exposures observed in humans after topical use of BRYHALI Lotion.
The background risk of major birth defects and miscarriage for the indicated population is unknown. In the U.S. general population, the estimated background risk of major birth defects and miscarriage in clinically recognized pregnancies is 2 to 4% and 15 to 20%, respectively. Data Animal Data Halobetasol propionate has been shown to cause malformations in rats and rabbits when given orally during organogenesis at doses of 0.04 to 0.1 mg/kg/day in rats and 0.01 mg/kg/day in rabbits.
Halobetasol propionate was embryotoxic in rabbits but not in rats. Cleft palate was observed in both rats and rabbits. Omphalocele was seen in rats but not in rabbits.
8.2Lactation Risk Summary There are no data on the presence of halobetasol propionate or its metabolites in human milk, the effects on the breastfed infant, or the effects on milk production after treatment with BRYHALI Lotion. Systemically administered corticosteroids appear in human milk and could suppress growth, interfere with endogenous corticosteroid production, or cause other untoward effects. It is not known whether topical administration of corticosteroids could result in sufficient systemic absorption to produce detectable quantities in human milk.
The developmental and health benefits of breastfeeding should be considered along with the mother’s clinical need for BRYHALI Lotion and any potential adverse effects on the breastfed child from BRYHALI Lotion. Clinical Considerations Advise breastfeeding women not to apply BRYHALI Lotion directly to the nipple and areola to avoid direct infant exposure.
8.4Pediatric Use Safety and effectiveness of BRYHALI Lotion in pediatric patients under the age of 18 years have not been evaluated. Because of higher skin-surface-area-to-body-mass ratios, pediatric patients are at a greater risk than adults of HPA axis suppression and Cushing’s syndrome when they are treated with topical corticosteroids. They are therefore also at greater risk of adrenal insufficiency during or after withdrawal of treatment.
Adverse reactions including striae have been reported with use of topical corticosteroids in infants and children [see Warnings and Precautions (5.1) ] . HPA axis suppression, Cushing’s syndrome, linear growth retardation, delayed weight gain, and intracranial hypertension have been reported in children receiving topical corticosteroids. Manifestations of adrenal suppression in children include low plasma cortisol levels and an absence of response to ACTH stimulation.
Manifestations of intracranial hypertension include bulging fontanelles, headaches, and bilateral papilledema [see Warnings and Precautions (5.1) ] .
8.5Geriatric Use Of 284 subjects exposed to BRYHALI Lotion in clinical trials, 61 subjects were 65 years or older. Clinical trials of BRYHALI Lotion did not include sufficient numbers of subjects age 65 years and older to determine whether they respond differently from younger subjects.

🧬 Clinical Pharmacology ▾
12 CLINICAL PHARMACOLOGY
12.1Mechanism of Action Corticosteroids play a role in cellular signaling, immune function, inflammation, and protein regulation; however, the precise mechanism of action in plaque psoriasis is unknown.
12.2Pharmacodynamics Vasoconstrictor Assay A vasoconstrictor assay in healthy subjects with BRYHALI Lotion indicated that the formulation is in the potent to superpotent range of potency as compared to other topical corticosteroids. However, similar blanching scores do not necessarily imply therapeutic equivalence. Hypothalamic-Pituitary-Adrenal (HPA) Axis Suppression The potential for HPA axis suppression was evaluated in 19 adult subjects with moderate to severe plaque psoriasis with at least 20% BSA involved.
An approximate dose of 7 g BRYHALI Lotion was applied once daily for 8 weeks. An abnormal HPA axis suppression test, as indicated by a 30-minute post-stimulation cortisol level ≤18 mcg/dL, was reported for 1 (5.6%) subject at Week 4 and for 3 (15.8%) subjects at Week 8. The subject suppressed at Week 4 was also suppressed at Week 8.
These effects were reversible as recovery of HPA axis function was generally prompt with the discontinuation of treatment. [See Warnings and Precautions (5.1) .]
12.3Pharmacokinetics The extent of percutaneous absorption of topical corticosteroids is determined by many factors, including the vehicle, the integrity of the epidermal barrier, and the use of occlusive dressings. Topical corticosteroids can be absorbed from normal intact skin. Inflammation and/or other disease processes in the skin may increase percutaneous absorption.
In an open-label, randomized, pharmacokinetic study, 23 subjects aged 18 years and older with moderate to severe plaque psoriasis applied approximately 7 grams of BRYHALI Lotion to a mean BSA of 27.7±11.3% once daily for 28 days. Systemic concentrations were at steady state by Day 14. Only 5 out of 20 subjects had one or more quantifiable systemic concentrations of halobetasol propionate on Day 14.
The mean ± SD for maximum systemic concentration (C max ) on Day 14 was 31.2±62.2 pg/mL. The mean area under the concentration versus time curve (AUC) could not be reliably estimated due to insufficient number of quantifiable timepoints.
