As the OGD has reported the official approval numbers for March, let us note that we projected the actual number (63) in our unofficial count (here) in our April 5th post. Please realize that this month (March) included a number of reports of approval actions for multiple strengths within a single ANDA, reflecting a change […]
The Office of Generic Drugs updated its Generic Drugs Program Activities Report – Monthly Performance for January (here) to fill in more data on various metrics.

OGD also acknowledged 65 new ANDAs in April. Of the […]
The Office of Generic Drugs updated its March 2020 statistics today (here) with few surprises. As they say on American Idol, when giving the results, “dim the lights and here we go.” The OGD again refused to receive only three ANDAs in March and all three were for standard review ANDAs.
