    Therefore, approval of the applications listed in table 1, and all 
amendments and supplements thereto, is hereby withdrawn as of May 9, 
2025. Approval of each entire application is withdrawn, including any 
strengths and dosage forms included in the application but 
inadvertently missing from table 1. Introduction or delivery for 
introduction into interstate commerce of products listed in table 1 
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 table 1 that are in inventory on May 
9, 2025 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.
