Milligrams/Vial, and Other Drug Products Were Not Withdrawn From Sale 
for Reasons of Safety or Effectiveness

AGENCY: Food and Drug Administration, HHS.

ACTION: Notice.

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

SUMMARY: The Food and Drug Administration (FDA or Agency) has 
determined that the drug products listed in this document were not 
withdrawn from sale for reasons of safety or effectiveness. This 
determination means that FDA will not begin procedures to withdraw 
approval of abbreviated new drug applications (ANDAs) that refer to 
these drug products, and it will allow FDA to continue to approve ANDAs 
that refer to the products as long as they meet relevant legal and 
regulatory requirements.

and Research, Food and Drug Administration, 10903 New Hampshire Ave.,

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: In 1984, Congress enacted the Drug Price 
Competition and Patent Term Restoration Act of 1984 (Pub. L. 98-417) 
(the 1984 amendments), which authorized the approval of duplicate 
versions of drug products approved under an ANDA procedure. ANDA 
applicants must, with certain exceptions, show that the drug for which 
they are seeking approval contains the same active ingredient in the 
same strength and dosage form as the ``listed drug,'' which is a 
version of the drug that was previously approved. ANDA applicants do 
not have to repeat the extensive clinical testing otherwise necessary 
to gain approval of a new drug application (NDA).
    The 1984 amendments include what is now section 505(j)(7) of the 
Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act (21 U.S.C. 355(j)(7)), which 
requires FDA to publish a list of all approved drugs. FDA publishes 
this list as part of the ``Approved Drug Products With Therapeutic 
Equivalence Evaluations,'' which is generally known as the ``Orange 
Book.'' Under FDA regulations, a drug is removed from the list if the 
Agency withdraws or suspends approval of the drug's NDA or ANDA for 
reasons of safety or effectiveness, or if FDA determines that the 
listed drug was withdrawn from sale for reasons of safety or 
effectiveness (21 CFR 314.162).
    Under Sec.  314.161(a) (21 CFR 314.161(a)), the Agency must 
determine whether a listed drug was withdrawn from sale for reasons of 
safety or effectiveness: (1) Before an ANDA that refers to that listed 
drug may be approved, (2) whenever a listed drug is voluntarily 
withdrawn from sale and ANDAs that refer to the listed drug have been 
approved, and (3) when a person petitions for such a determination 
under 21 CFR 10.25(a) and 10.30. Section 314.161(d) provides that if 
FDA determines that a listed drug was withdrawn from sale for safety or 
effectiveness reasons, the Agency will initiate proceedings that could 
result in the withdrawal of approval of the ANDAs that refer to the 
listed drug.
    FDA has become aware that the drug products listed in the table are 
no longer being marketed.

    FDA has reviewed its records and, under Sec.  314.161, has 
determined that the drug products listed were not withdrawn from sale 
for reasons of safety or effectiveness. Accordingly, the Agency will 
continue to list the drug products in the ``Discontinued Drug Product 
List'' section of the Orange Book. The ``Discontinued Drug Product 
List'' identifies, among other items, drug products that have been 
discontinued from marketing for reasons other than safety or 
effectiveness.
    Approved ANDAs that refer to the NDAs and ANDAs listed are 
unaffected by the discontinued marketing of the products subject to 
those NDAs and ANDAs. Additional ANDAs that refer to these products may 
also be approved by the Agency if they comply with relevant legal and 
regulatory requirements. If FDA determines that labeling for these drug 
products should be revised to meet current standards, the Agency will 
advise ANDA applicants to submit such labeling.
