Actavis Totowa LLC, et al.; Withdrawal of Approval of Abbreviated 
New Drug Applications for Prescription Pain Medications Containing More 
Than 325 Milligrams of Acetaminophen

AGENCY: Food and Drug Administration, HHS.

ACTION: Notice.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) is withdrawing approval 
of 108 abbreviated new drug applications (ANDAs) for prescription pain 
medications containing more than 325 milligrams (mg) of acetaminophen. 
The holders of these ANDAs have voluntarily requested that approval of 
these applications be withdrawn and have waived their opportunity for a 
hearing.

DATES: Effective March 27, 2014.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Rachel Turow, Center for Drug 
Evaluation and Research, Food and Drug Administration, 10903 New 
Hampshire Ave., Bldg. 51, Rm. 6236, Silver Spring, MD 20993-0002, 301-
796-5094.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: In the Federal Register of January 14, 2011 
(76 FR 2691), FDA announced its plans to reduce the maximum dosage unit 
strength of acetaminophen in prescription drug products. The notice

[[Page 17164]]

announced FDA's conclusion that, based on a reevaluation of the 
relative risks and benefits of prescription acetaminophen products, 
fixed-combination prescription drugs containing more than 325 mg of 
acetaminophen per dosage unit (tablet or capsule) do not provide a 
sufficient margin of safety to protect the public against the serious 
risk of acetaminophen-induced liver injury. Accordingly, we asked 
product sponsors to limit the maximum amount of acetaminophen per 
dosage unit to 325 mg and, for those products containing more than 325 
mg of acetaminophen per dosage unit, to submit requests that FDA 
withdraw approval of their applications under Sec.  314.150(d) (21 CFR 
314.150(d)). FDA asked that all such requests be made before January 
14, 2014. Table 1 lists the applications for which FDA has received 
such requests. The sponsors of the applications listed in table 1 have 
also waived their opportunity for a hearing.

    Therefore, under Sec.  314.150(d), and under authority delegated to 
the Director, Center for Drug Evaluation and Research, by the 
Commissioner of Food and Drugs, approval of the applications for the 
drug products listed in table 1 of this document, and all amendments 
and supplements thereto, is withdrawn (see DATES). Distribution of 
these products in interstate commerce without an approved application 
is illegal and subject to regulatory action (see sections 505(a) and 
301(d) of the FD&C Act (21 U.S.C. 355(a) and 331(d)).
    The safety issue discussed in this document and the January 14, 
2011, Federal Register document is limited to products containing more 
than 325 mg of acetaminophen per dosage unit. Thus, the withdrawal of 
approval of products containing more than 325 mg of acetaminophen per 
dosage unit listed in table 1 does not change the approval status of 
any products with 325 mg or less of acetaminophen per dosage unit that 
were approved under the same application. In addition, the withdrawal 
of approval of products containing more than 325 mg of acetaminophen 
per dosage unit does not change the approval status of products with 
325 mg or less of acetaminophen per dosage unit that refer to or rely 
on the withdrawn products. For example, this withdrawal action will not 
affect the approval status of an ANDA for a product that contains 325 
mg or less per dosage unit that references a product listed in table 1, 
but for which FDA approved a suitability petition for a lower strength 
under section 505(j)(2)(C) of the FD&C Act and Sec.  314.93 (21 CFR 
314.93)).
