    Therefore, approval of the applications listed in the table, and 
all amendments and supplements thereto, is hereby withdrawn as of 
February 7, 2020. Approval of each entire application is withdrawn, 
including any strengths or products inadvertently missing from the

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 February 7, 2020 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.
