    The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has determined that NASCOBAL, a nasal spray containing 0.5 mg of cyanocobalamin (vitamin B12), was not removed from the market due to safety or effectiveness concerns. This decision means that the FDA will continue to approve generic versions of NASCOBAL as long as they meet all legal and regulatory requirements. The drug remains listed in the "Discontinued Drug Product List" section of the Orange Book, which indicates it was not discontinued for safety reasons. If needed, the FDA will instruct generic drug makers to update their labeling to current standards.

    Simple Explanation

    The FDA checked on a special vitamin B12 nose spray called NASCOBAL and said it wasn’t stopped because it was unsafe or didn't work. This means other companies can still make the same kind of spray if they follow all the rules.

    The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has determined that the drug VIBRAMYCIN (doxycycline) for oral suspension was not taken off the market due to safety or effectiveness concerns. This decision allows the FDA to continue approving generic versions of this medication as long as they meet legal and regulatory criteria. VIBRAMYCIN is included in the “Discontinued Drug Product List” because it was removed from sale for reasons unrelated to safety or effectiveness. If necessary, the FDA may require updates to the drug’s labeling to align with current standards.

    Simple Explanation

    The FDA is like a big safety team for medicines, and they checked a medicine called VIBRAMYCIN to make sure it's still okay to use. They found that it wasn't taken away because it was unsafe or didn't work, so they are letting other companies make similar versions, as long as they follow the rules.
