    Therefore, approval of the applications listed in the table, and

August 20, 2020. Approval of each entire application is withdrawn, 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 August 20, 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.

    Dated: July 15, 2020.
