    Therefore, approval of the applications listed in the table, and 
all amendments and supplements thereto, is hereby withdrawn as of June 
4, 2018. Introduction or delivery for introduction into interstate 
commerce of products without approved new drug applications violates 
section 301(a) and (d) of the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act (21 
U.S.C. 331(a) and (d)). Drug products that are listed in the table that 
are in inventory on June 4, 2018 may continue to be dispensed until the 
inventories have been depleted or the drug products have reached their 
expiration dates or otherwise become violative, whichever occurs first.
