and (d)). Drug products that are listed in the table that are in 
inventory on April 5, 2021 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.

    Dated: February 26, 2021.
