The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) is removing its approval for eight different abbreviated new drug applications (ANDAs), as the companies that made these drugs informed the FDA that the drugs are no longer being sold. The companies asked the FDA to cancel these approvals, and the FDA has agreed to do so as of April 14, 2025. Even though approval is being withdrawn, the decision does not prevent the companies from filing new applications in the future if desired. Also, any existing drugs from the list that are still in stock after this date can be sold until they run out, expire, or otherwise become unsuitable.
Simple Explanation
The FDA is stopping the approval for some medicines because the companies that made them said they don't want to sell them anymore. The companies can ask for approval again later if they change their minds.
