Summary

The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) is withdrawing approval of three abbreviated new drug applications (ANDAs) from two holders — Egis Pharmaceuticals Ltd. of Budapest, Hungary and Ambix Laboratories of Totowa, New Jersey — effective April 24, 2026. The withdrawals affect ANDA 074748 (Captopril tablets, 12.5/25/50/100 mg), ANDA 074808 (Piroxicam capsules, 10/20 mg), and ANDA 060453 (Bacitracin-neomycin sulfate-polymyxin B sulfate ointment with diperodon hydrochloride). FDA determined that the holders repeatedly failed to submit required annual reports under 21 CFR 314.81 and 314.98, and waived their opportunity for a hearing under 21 CFR 314.200.

“The Food and Drug Administration (FDA or Agency) is withdrawing approval of three abbreviated new drug applications (ANDAs) from the holders of those ANDAs. The basis for the withdrawal is that the ANDA holders have repeatedly failed to file required annual reports for those ANDAs.”

About this source

Every FDA document on regulations.gov, the federal rulemaking portal. This is where the agency posts variances, advisory committee meeting notices, draft guidance for comment, citizen petition responses, and procedural rules that do not get a separate Federal Register slot. Around 240 a month. FDA's heavy regulations.gov use means tracking only the Federal Register misses a meaningful chunk of what the agency does day-to-day. Watch this if you manufacture devices, submit IND or NDA applications, run a lab, or advise sponsors on FDA process. GovPing publishes each posting with the docket, document type, division (CDER, CDRH, CFSAN), and comment window where one applies.

What changed

FDA has withdrawn approval of three ANDAs — ANDA 060453, ANDA 074748, and ANDA 074808 — held by Ambix Laboratories and Egis Pharmaceuticals Ltd., effective April 24, 2026. The basis for withdrawal is repeated failure to file required annual reports for those applications under 21 CFR 314.81 and 314.98, combined with the holders' waiver of any opportunity for a hearing under 21 CFR 314.200.

Manufacturers holding approved ANDAs must maintain compliance with annual reporting obligations under 21 CFR 314.81 and 314.98 to avoid similar withdrawal actions. Failure to respond to an opportunity for hearing notice constitutes a waiver of the right to contest the withdrawal. These withdrawals affect the availability of generic Captopril tablets, Piroxicam capsules, and a combination antibiotic ointment.

ACTION:

Notice.

annual reports for those ANDAs.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT:

Martha Nguyen, Center for Drug Evaluation and Research, Food and Drug Administration, 10903 New Hampshire Ave., Bldg. 75,
Rm. 1676, Silver Spring, MD 20993-0002, 301-796-3471, Martha.Nguyen@fda.hhs.gov.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

The holder of an approved application to market a new drug for human use is required to submit annual reports to FDA concerning
its approved application in accordance with §§ 314.81 and 314.98 (21 CFR 314.81 and 314.98).

In the
Federal Register
of December 29, 2025 (90 FR 60724), FDA published a notice offering an opportunity for a hearing (NOOH) on a proposal to withdraw
approval of three ANDAs because the holders of these ANDAs had repeatedly failed to submit the required annual reports for
these ANDAs. The holders of these ANDAs did not respond to the NOOH. Failure to file a written notice of participation and
request for hearing as required by § 314.200 (21 CFR 314.200) constitutes a waiver of the opportunity for hearing by the holders
of the ANDAs concerning the proposal to withdraw approval of the ANDAs and a waiver of any contentions concerning the legal
status of the drug products. Therefore, FDA is withdrawing approval

of the three applications listed in Table 1 of this document.

Application No. Drug Applicant
ANDA 060453 Bacitracin-neomycin sulfate-polymyxin B sulfate ointment with diperodon hydrochloride Ambix Laboratories, 55 West End Rd., Totowa, NJ 07512.
ANDA 074748 Captopril tablet, 12.5 milligrams (mg), 25 mg, 50 mg, and 100 mg Egis Pharmaceuticals Ltd., 1475 Budapest 10 Pf. 100 Hungary.
ANDA 074808 Piroxicam capsule, 10 mg and 20 mg Do.

FDA finds that the holders of the ANDAs listed in Table 1 have repeatedly failed to submit reports required by §§ 314.81 and
314.98. In addition, under § 314.200, FDA finds that the holders of the ANDAs have waived the opportunity for a hearing and
any contentions concerning the legal status of the drug products. Therefore, based on these findings and pursuant to the authority
under section 505(e) of the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act (21 U.S.C. 355(e)), approval of the ANDAs listed in Table
1 and all amendments and supplements thereto, is hereby withdrawn as of April 24, 2026.
