>insulin glargine, are off patent now.

In the U.S.A. is expected to expire on 2027-07-05.

How did something invented in 1994/2000, get patented in 2009? https://patents.google.com/patent/US8048854B2/en%3C/

That's a different molecule. It's been animated.
Do they still make/prescribe the non animated one? Did it just disappear off the market?
I think that's just a Wikipedia red herring. I'm not sure the amidated glargine has been marketed.
