Hello,

"There are no generic Savella (milnacipran) products licensed for sale at this time. The medication is currently under the protection of a patent that prevents any generic versions from being manufactured and sold in the United States. The earliest predictable date that a generic version of Savella could become available is November 2021."

looks like you already received an answer on this definately get ahold of the patient assistance # provided. Usually it only takes about 2 weeks to get paperwork in and processed. If you go into the website you should be able to print off the patient assistance paperwork then fill out your portion.
You will then need to have your Dr. fill out a portion & give you a prescription.
Hope you get all of this processed asap/ You might want to ask your Dr. for more samples to hold you out until you get the paperwork approved.
Usually Dr.s are very understanding about giving addl samples.
Best of luck. sorry it took awhile to get back to you. I have been off the website for several weeks as I have not been feeling well. take care, Kathy
