    Therefore, approval of the applications listed in the table, and 
all amendments and supplements thereto, is hereby withdrawn as of March 
4, 2022. Approval of each entire application is withdrawn, including 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 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 March 4, 2022 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: January 25, 2022.

Associate Commissioner for Policy.
