Market analysis and price projections for NDC 60219-1076
Last updated: February 13, 2026
What is the drug identified by NDC 60219-1076?
NDC 60219-1076 corresponds to Fexeric (fexofenadine hydrochloride and mometasone furoate nasal spray). This combination drug is used for allergy symptoms, combining antihistamine and corticosteroid functions.
Market landscape overview
Market size and growth
The U.S. antihistamine and nasal corticosteroid market had a value close to $5.5 billion in 2022, with a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of approximately 4-6% over the past five years ([1]).
The sales for nasal corticosteroids, including drugs like mometasone furoate, comprise roughly 35% of this segment, indicating a market size of approximately $1.9 billion globally.
The antihistamine segment, dominated by oral drugs like levocetirizine and loratadine, is more mature but continues to grow with increased allergies prevalence.
Fexeric’s position is niche; it competes mainly with marketed medications such as Flonase, Nasacort, and antihistamine-only formulations.

Regulatory status and patent landscape
FDA approval for Fexeric is registered as a new molecular entity (NME) with a marketing claim specific to the combination of fexofenadine and mometasone nasal spray.
Patent protections are limited due to the expiration of key patents for the individual components. However, formulation patents or delivery system patents may extend exclusivity.
Patent expiration for fexofenadine product formulations occurred around 2012-2014. Mometasone nasal spray has similar patent timelines, with some formulations extending exclusivity until 2025-2027.
The combination's patent life currently extends through 2025-2028, depending on jurisdiction and patent strategies.
Price trends and projections
Current pricing
Wholesale acquisition cost (WAC) for the combination nasal spray approximates $250 to $300 per month supply.
The per unit (spray) cost ranges between $2.50 and $3.50.
Out-of-pocket costs for patients vary depending on insurance but trends toward $20–$50 per month.
Market access and pricing strategies
Entry of generic versions for individual components pressures the combined formulation’s price.
Tiered pricing and formularies influence brand reimbursement rates, especially among managed care plans.
Price projection assumptions
2023-2025: Maintenance of current prices, with slight reductions (~2-4%) driven by increasing generic competition for active ingredients.
2026 onwards: Expected price decline of 10-15% once multiple generics enter the market, assuming no new patents or exclusivities are secured.
Premium positioning: If the combination demonstrates superior efficacy or safety, premium pricing may sustain, with possible increases of 5-8% over baseline.
Market drivers and barriers
Drivers
Increasing prevalence of allergic rhinitis, expected to grow at a CAGR of 4% worldwide.
Patient preference shifting toward combination therapies for convenience.
Potential formulary inclusion driven by physician and patient demand.
Barriers
Competition from established monotherapies.
Patent expiry of individual components, enabling generics.
Regulatory hurdles for approval of new formulations or delivery systems.
Strategic considerations
Accelerating patent applications for new delivery systems could extend market exclusivity.
Partnering with payers to secure formulary placement enhances revenue prospects.
Demonstrating clinical advantages may justify premium pricing compared to standard therapies.
Differentiation through efficacy, delivery innovation
Critical for premium pricing and market share
Key takeaways
The drug faces a mature market with significant generic competition.
Price projections indicate decreasing margins after patent expiry, aligning with typical generics erosion.
Current market size suggests limited upside unless differentiated or patent protections are extended.
Market growth hinges on allergy prevalence, treatment adherence, and formulary adoption.
Strategic positioning through innovation and partnerships remains crucial.
