all amendments and supplements thereto, is hereby withdrawn as of 
January 17, 2024. Approval of each entire application is withdrawn, 
including any strengths and dosage forms inadvertently missing from the 
table. Introduction or delivery for introduction into interstate 
commerce of products listed in the table without an approved NDA 
violates sections 505(a) and 301(d) of the Federal Food, Drug, and 
Cosmetic Act (21 U.S.C. 355(a) and 331(d)). Drug products that are 
listed in the table that are in inventory on January 17, 2024 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: December 12, 2023.
Lauren K. Roth,
Associate Commissioner for Policy.
