Therefore, approval of the applications listed in table 1, and all amendments and supplements thereto, are hereby withdrawn as of April 13, 2026. Approval of each entire application is withdrawn, including any strengths and dosage forms inadvertently missing from table 1.

Drug products that are listed in table 1 that are in inventory on April 13, 2026 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.
