Download as PDF 51576 Federal Register / Vol. 79, No. 168 / Friday, August 29, 2014 / Notices 17, 2013 (Docket No. FDA–2013–P– 0886), under 21 CFR 10.30, requesting that the Agency determine whether JADELLE (levonorgestrel) implant, 75 mg, was withdrawn from sale for reasons of safety or effectiveness. After considering the citizen petition and reviewing Agency records and based on the information we have at this time, FDA has determined under § 314.161 that JADELLE (levonorgestrel) implant, 75 mg, was not withdrawn for reasons of safety or effectiveness. The petitioner has identified no data or other information suggesting that JADELLE (levonorgestrel) implant, 75 mg, was withdrawn for reasons of safety or effectiveness. We have carefully reviewed our files for records concerning the withdrawal of JADELLE (levonorgestrel) implant, 75 mg, from sale. We have also independently evaluated relevant literature and data for possible postmarketing adverse events. We have reviewed the available evidence and determined that this drug product was not withdrawn from sale for reasons of safety or effectiveness. Accordingly, the Agency will continue to list JADELLE (levonorgestrel) implant, 75 mg, in the ‘‘Discontinued Drug Product List’’ section of the Orange Book. The ‘‘Discontinued Drug Product List’’ delineates, among other items, drug products that have been discontinued from marketing for reasons other than safety or effectiveness. ANDAs that refer to JADELLE (levonorgestrel) implant, 75 mg, may be approved by the Agency as long as they meet all other legal and regulatory requirements for the approval of ANDAs. If FDA determines that labeling for this drug product should be revised to meet current standards, the Agency will advise ANDA applicants to submit such labeling. Dated: August 25, 2014.
