⏳ Availability & generic status
We did not find an FDA-approved generic match for this exact strength, form and route. Patent/protection dates below may affect future generic timing.
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 Hepatotoxicity : Monitor patients during treatment with REZDIFFRA for elevations in liver tests and for the development of liver-related adverse reactions. Discontinue REZDIFFRA and continue to monitor the patient if hepatotoxicity is suspected. (5.1) Gallbladder-Related Adverse Reactions : Cholelithiasis and cholecystitis were observed more often in REZDIFFRA-treated patients.
If cholelithiasis is suspected, gallbladder diagnostic studies and appropriate clinical follow-up are indicated. If an acute gallbladder event such as acute cholecystitis is suspected, interrupt REZDIFFRA treatment until the event is resolved. (5.2)
5.1Hepatotoxicity Hepatotoxicity has been observed with use of REZDIFFRA. One patient had normal alanine aminotransferase (ALT), aspartate aminotransferase (AST), and total bilirubin (TB) levels at baseline, who received REZDIFFRA 80 mg daily, developed substantial elevations of liver biochemistries that resolved when treatment was interrupted. After reinitiating REZDIFFRA, the patient had elevations of ALT, AST, and TB.
Peak values observed were 58 x upper limit of normal (ULN) for ALT, 66 x ULN for AST, 15 x ULN for TB, with no elevation of alkaline phosphatase (ALP). Elevations in liver enzymes were accompanied by elevations in immunoglobulin G levels, suggesting drug-induced autoimmune-like hepatitis (DI-ALH). The liver tests returned to baseline following hospitalization and discontinuation of REZDIFFRA without any therapeutic intervention.
Monitor patients during treatment with REZDIFFRA for elevations in liver tests and for the development of liver-related adverse reactions. Monitor for symptoms and signs of hepatotoxicity (e.g., fatigue, nausea, vomiting, right upper quadrant pain or tenderness, jaundice, fever, rash, and/or eosinophilia [>5%]). If hepatotoxicity is suspected, discontinue REZDIFFRA and continue to monitor the patient.
If laboratory values return to baseline, weigh the potential risks against the benefits of restarting REZDIFFRA. If laboratory values do not return to baseline, consider DI-ALH or autoimmune liver disease in the evaluation of elevations in liver tests.
5.2Gallbladder-Related Adverse Reactions In clinical trials, cholelithiasis, acute cholecystitis, and obstructive pancreatitis (gallstone) were observed more often in REZDIFFRA-treated patients than in placebo-treated patients. If cholelithiasis is suspected, gallbladder diagnostic studies and appropriate clinical follow-up are indicated. If an acute gallbladder event is suspected, interrupt REZDIFFRA treatment until the event is resolved [see Adverse Reactions (6.1) ] .
5.3Drug Interaction with Certain Statins An increase in exposure of atorvastatin, pravastatin, rosuvastatin and simvastatin was observed when concomitantly administered with REZDIFFRA [see Clinical Pharmacology (12.3) ], which may increase the risk of adverse reactions related to these drugs. Dosage adjustment for certain statins is recommended [see Drug Interactions (7.2) ] . Monitor for statin-related adverse reactions including but not limited to elevation of liver tests, myopathy, and rhabdomyolysis .
🤒 Adverse Reactions ▾
6 ADVERSE REACTIONS The following clinically significant adverse reactions are described elsewhere in labeling: Hepatotoxicity [see Warnings and Precautions (5.1) ] Gallbladder-Related Adverse Reactions [see Warnings and Precautions (5.2) ] The most common adverse reactions with REZDIFFRA (reported in at least 5% of patients and higher compared to placebo) are: diarrhea, nausea, pruritus, vomiting, constipation, abdominal pain, and dizziness. (6.1) To report SUSPECTED ADVERSE REACTIONS, contact Madrigal Pharmaceuticals, Inc. at 1-800-905-0324 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 with rates in clinical trials of another drug and may not reflect the rates observed in clinical practice. The safety of REZDIFFRA was evaluated in two randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled trials that enrolled a total of 2019 patients. Trial 1 Trial 1 included patients who had noncirrhotic MASH with stages F2 and F3 fibrosis at eligibility (n=888) [see Clinical Studies (14) ] .
Adverse Reactions Leading to Discontinuations The exposure-adjusted incidence rates (EAIRs) per 100 person-years (PY) for treatment discontinuation due to any adverse reaction were higher in the REZDIFFRA dosage arms: 4 per 100 PY, 5 per 100 PY, and 8 per 100 PY in placebo, REZDIFFRA 80 mg once daily, and REZDIFFRA 100 mg once daily arms, respectively. Diarrhea and nausea were the most common causes of treatment discontinuation. Common Adverse Reactions Table 1 displays EAIRs per 100 PY for the common adverse reactions that occurred in at least 5% of patients with F2 or F3 fibrosis treated in either drug arm with REZDIFFRA and were greater than that reported for placebo.
Table 1: Exposure-Adjusted Incidence Rates (EAIR) of Common Adverse Reactions Reported with REZDIFFRA in Adult Patients with Noncirrhotic MASH (Trial 1) a, b, c a Population includes adult patients with noncirrhotic MASH with liver fibrosis (stages F2 and F3 at eligibility). b Median exposure duration was 68 weeks for placebo, 74 weeks for REZDIFFRA 80 mg once daily, and 66 weeks for REZDIFFRA 100 mg once daily. c EAIRs are per 100 person-years (PY) where total PYs were 435, 435, and 407 for placebo, 80 mg once daily, and 100 mg once daily arms, respectively. d The EAIR per 100 PY can be interpreted as an estimated number of first occurrences of the adverse reaction of interest if 100 patients are treated for one year.

The EAIRs for gastrointestinal adverse reactions were 57 per 100 PY, 73 per 100 PY, and 89 per 100 PY in the placebo, REZDIFFRA 80 mg once daily, REZDIFFRA 100 mg once daily arms, respectively. Diarrhea typically began early in treatment initiation and was mild to moderate in severity. The median time (Q1 to Q3) to a diarrheal event was 39 (2 to 195) days, 17 (3 to 70) days, and 6 (2 to 54) days in the placebo, REZDIFFRA 80 mg once daily, and REZDIFFRA 100 mg once daily arms, respectively.
Median duration of diarrhea was 9 days for placebo compared to 20 days for both REZDIFFRA 80 mg once daily and REZDIFFRA 100 mg once daily dosage arms. Nausea also began early in treatment and was mild to moderate in severity. Among patients with nausea, the median time (Q1 to Q…
🔄 Drug Interactions ▾
7 DRUG INTERACTIONS Strong or Moderate CYP2C8 Inhibitors: Concomitant use not recommended (strong inhibitor [e.g., gemfibrozil]); or reduce REZDIFFRA dosage (moderate inhibitor [e.g., clopidogrel]). (2.2 , 7.1) Atorvastatin, Pravastatin, Rosuvastatin and Simvastatin : Limit the daily dosage of the statin as recommended. (5.3 , 7.2) CYP2C8 Substrates: Monitor patients more frequently for substrate-related adverse reactions. (7.2)
7.1Effects of Strong or Moderate CYP2C8 Inhibitors on REZDIFFRA Table 3 includes clinically significant drug interaction effects of strong or moderate CYP2C8 inhibitors on REZDIFFRA. Table 3: Clinically Significant Interaction Effects of Strong or Moderate CYP2C8 Inhibitors on REZDIFFRA Clinical Impact Resmetirom is a CYP2C8 substrate. Concomitant use with a strong or moderate CYP2C8 inhibitor can increase resmetirom Cmax and AUC [ see Clinical Pharmacology (12.3) ], which may increase the risk of REZDIFFRA adverse reactions.
Intervention Concomitant use of REZDIFFRA with strong CYP2C8 inhibitors (e.g., gemfibrozil) is not recommended. Reduce REZDIFFRA dosage if used concomitantly with a moderate CYP2C8 inhibitor (e.g., clopidogrel) [ see Dosage and Administration (2.2) ].
7.2Effects of REZDIFFRA on Other Drugs Table 4 includes clinically significant drug interactions affecting other drugs. Table 4: Clinically Significant Interactions Affecting Other Drugs Statins (Atorvastatin, Pravastatin, Rosuvastatin, or Simvastatin) Clinical Impact REZDIFFRA increased plasma concentrations of some statins (atorvastatin, pravastatin, rosuvastatin and simvastatin) [see Clinical Pharmacology (12.3) ] , which may increase the risk of adverse reactions related to these drugs. Intervention Rosuvastatin and simvastatin: Limit daily statin dosage to 20 mg.
Pravastatin and atorvastatin: Limit daily statin dosage to 40 mg. CYP2C8 Substrates Clinical Impact Resmetirom is a weak CYP2C8 inhibitor. Resmetirom increases exposure of CYP2C8 substrates [see Clinical Pharmacology (12.3) ] , which may increase the risk of adverse reactions related to these substrates.
Intervention Monitor patients more frequently for substrate-related adverse reactions if REZDIFFRA is co-administered with CYP2C8 substrates where minimal concentration changes may lead to serious adverse reactions.
👥 Use in Specific Populations ▾
8 USE IN SPECIFIC POPULATIONS Hepatic Impairment: Avoid use of REZDIFFRA in patients with moderate to severe hepatic impairment (Child-Pugh Class B or C). (8.7)
8.1Pregnancy Risk Summary There are no available data on REZDIFFRA use in pregnant women to evaluate for a drug-associated risk of major birth defects, miscarriage, or other adverse maternal or fetal outcomes. There are risks to the mother and fetus related to underlying MASH with liver fibrosis (see Clinical Considerations ). In animal reproduction studies, adverse effects on embryo-fetal development occurred in pregnant rabbits treated with resmetirom at 3.5 times the maximum recommended dose during organogenesis.
These effects were associated with maternal toxicity, whereas no embryo-fetal effects were observed at lower dose levels with better tolerance in pregnant rabbits. No embryo-fetal developmental effects occurred in pregnant rats treated with resmetirom or the metabolite MGL-3623. A pre- and postnatal development study in rats with maternal dosing of resmetirom during organogenesis through lactation showed a decrease in birthweight and increased incidence of stillbirths and mortality (postnatal days 1-4) at 37 times the maximum recommended dose (see Data ) .
These effects were associated with marked suppression of maternal T4, T3, and TSH levels. The background risk of major birth defects and miscarriage for the indicated population is unknown. All pregnancies have a background risk of birth defect, loss, and other adverse outcomes.
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. Report pregnancies to Madrigal Pharmaceuticals, Inc. Adverse Event reporting line at 1-800-905-0324 or https://pregnancyregistry.madrigalpharma.com .
Clinical Considerations Disease-Associated Maternal and/or Embryo/Fetal Risk There are risks to the mother and fetus related to underlying maternal MASH with liver fibrosis, such as increased risks of gestational diabetes, hypertensive complications, preterm birth, and postpartum hemorrhage. Data Animal Data No effects on embryo-fetal development were observed in pregnant rats treated orally with up to 100 mg/kg/day (21 times the maximum recommended dose based on AUC [area under the plasma concentration-time curve]) or in pregnant rabbits treated orally with up to 30 mg/kg/day (2.8 times the maximum recommended dose based on AUC) during the period of organogenesis.
Oral administration of 75 mg/kg/day in pregnant rabbits (3.5 times the maximum recommended dose based on AUC) produced an increase in post-implantation loss and decreases in viable fetuses and fetal weight. These effects were likely due to maternal toxicity (i.e., marked reductions in weight gain and food consumption). A pre- and postnatal development study was performed using oral administration of 3, 30, or 100 mg/kg/day in female rats during organogenesis through lactation.
Treatment with 100 mg/kg/day (37 times the maximum recommended dose based on AUC) produced increases in number of stillborn, pup deaths during postnatal days 1-4, and pups with absence of milk in stomach. Birthweight was decreased by 10% in this dose group, with recovery to normal body weight thereafter. The effects in offspring were associated with marked reductions in maternal plasma levels of T4 (88% decrease), T3 (79% decrease), and TSH (44% decrease).
No effects on postnatal development were observed at doses up to 30 mg/kg/day (7.2 times the maximum recommended dose based on AUC). This study lacked a complete evaluation of physical and neurobehavioral development in offspring; however, no effects of resmetirom were noted in tests of learning and memory. The metabolite MGL-3623 was tested for its effects on embryo-fetal development.
No effects were observed in pregnant rats treated orally with up to 100 mg/kg/day MGL-3623 (4.7 times the maximum recommended dose based on…
🧬 Clinical Pharmacology ▾
12 CLINICAL PHARMACOLOGY
12.1Mechanism of Action Resmetirom is a partial agonist of the thyroid hormone receptor-beta (THR-β). Resmetirom produced 83.8% of the maximum response compared to triiodothyronine (T3), with an EC 50 of 0.21 µM in an in vitro functional assay for THR-β activation. The same functional assay for thyroid hormone receptor-alpha (THR-α) agonism showed 48.6% efficacy for resmetirom relative to T3, with an EC 50 of 3.74 µM.
THR-β is the major form of THR in the liver, and stimulation of THR-β in the liver reduces intrahepatic triglycerides, whereas actions of thyroid hormone outside the liver, including in heart and bone, are largely mediated through THR-α.
12.2Pharmacodynamics Noninvasive Liver Disease Markers Resmetirom decreases liver fat content measured by magnetic resonance imaging-proton density fat fraction (MRI-PDFF) or ultrasound attenuation (e.g. controlled attenuation parameter (CAP)). Resmetirom also decreases liver stiffness, as measured by transient elastography (TE) and Enhanced Liver Fibrosis (ELF) score. The clinical relevance of these changes is yet to be confirmed.
Prohormone FT4 Resmetirom decreased concentrations of prohormone FT4 were observed at the first assessment at 4 weeks of treatment. Similar decreases in FT4 were observed during the treatment [see Adverse Reactions (6.1) ]. Sex Hormone Binding Globulin (SHBG) Resmetirom increased concentrations of sex hormone binding globulin (SHBG) were observed at the first assessment at 4 weeks of treatment, and at longer durations of treatment.
The clinical significance of this change is unknown. Cardiac Electrophysiology At a dose two times the maximum recommended dose, resmetirom does not prolong the QT interval to any clinically relevant extent.
12.3Pharmacokinetics Following once daily doses, steady state is typically reached within 3 to 6 days of dosing. Resmetirom steady state exposure increases in a dose proportional manner between doses of 40 mg (0.5 times the lowest approved recommended dose) and 100 mg. Resmetirom exposure increases in a greater than dose proportional manner between doses of 100 mg and 200 mg (2 times the highest approved recommended dose) by about 5.6-fold.
Resmetirom exposure increased 1.5- to 3-fold following once daily dosing; however, the MGL-3623 metabolite does not accumulate. The estimated resmetirom systemic exposure at steady state in MASH patients is summarized in Table 5 . Resmetirom exposure is similar between MASH patients with F2 stage fibrosis and F3 stage fibrosis.
Table 5: Resmetirom Estimated Systemic Exposure at Steady State in Patients with MASH with Fibrosis (F2 and F3) Abbreviations: AUC t au,ss = area under the concentration-versus-time curve over one dosing interval at steady state; C max,ss = maximum concentration at steady state; CV = arithmetic coefficient of variation Parameter Resmetirom 80 mg Once Daily Mean (CV%) Resmetirom 100 mg Once Daily Mean (CV%) C max,ss (ng/mL) a 778 (41.5) 971 (40.9) AUC tau,ss (ng*h/mL) a 5850 (60.5) 7780 (65.5) Absorption The resmetirom median time to maximum plasma concentration (T max ) is approximately 4 hours following multiple daily doses of resmetirom 80 mg or 100 mg.
Effect of Food No clinically significant differences in resmetirom pharmacokinetics were observed following administration with a high-fat meal (approximately 150, 250, and 500-600 calories from protein, carbohydrate, and fat, respectively). Concomitant food administration resulted in a 33% decrease in C max , an 11% decrease in AUC, and a delay in median T max by about 2 hours compared to under fasted condition. Distribution Resmetirom apparent volume of distribution (Vd/F) at steady-state is 68 (227%) L.
