    Therefore, approval of the applications listed in table 1, and all 
amendments and supplements thereto, are hereby withdrawn as of January 
12, 2026. Approval of each entire application is withdrawn, including 
any strengths and dosage forms inadvertently missing from table 1.

listed in table 1 that are in inventory on January 12, 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.
