OGD published its official statistical report for April 2023 today (here) and we hit the nail on the head with our prediction of the number of full approval actions at 64 but we missed by one on the tentative approvals actions where we reported 11 (see previous post here), but there were actually 10 in […]
With the generic product approvals currently listed through May 15th on the All Approvals website (here), OGD has issued 30 full approval actions and 10 tentative approval actions for the month of May so far. Hopefully this will bode well for total approvals for the full month. We do have a major holiday coming up […]
In the post that was published yesterday (here) regarding the statistics for the first six (6) months of FY 2023, I promised to provide some OGD trends. And I failed to deliver. I guess when the pedal is pushed down too hard, and you are going too fast you get to the next intersection before […]
It seems unbelievable that we are now halfway through FY 2023 already. (Well, the stats are halfway through the year, even though we are in month eight (8) of the FY). Time really DOES go fast when you are having fun! And now with six (6) months of data, we can provide some trends and […]
March 2023 was an outstanding month for approval actions, with OGD unofficially issuing 123 total approval actions comprised of 95 full approval actions and 18 tentative approval actions. There were other months with 100 or more total approval actions, but we have not seen that level of approval productivity in a while. The record of […]
When we reported the unofficial January approval actions in a previous blog post, there was some concern about how OGD would be reporting their approval and tentative approval actions on the daily report versus the Generic Drugs Program Monthly and Quarterly Activities Report (here). If you go back and read the January unofficial approval blog […]

As we have noted in previous posts, the OGD has two types of approval actions for the various categories of approvals and tentative approvals. What the heck does that mean? Well, let’s take an example from this month’s approval actions. On January 24, 2023, the OGD approved one fentanyl application; however, that single application had […]
As Lester Holt says prior to the closing segment on NBC World News, “There’s good news tonight” – at least in terms of ANDA approval times. In its first quarterly report for FY 2023 all of the approval metrics are under 30 months for the first time that I can remember. (see chart below). This […]
Obviously, we have waited longer for the official monthly statistics in FY 2023 than in previous years. In addition, in prior years, OGD published the approval actions, receipt of new ANDAs and complete response letters prior to releasing the full set of statistics. However, it looks like there will be no early view of these […]
