Dear Ellen Chang:

 

The United States Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has reviewed your firm’s listing information provided for (b)(4). Our review revealed that the listing for this product includes inaccurate information. You have failed to address this listing deficiency detailed in FDA’s letter to your company on February 5, 2018, and have failed to respond after our data removal notification to your company on March 22, 2018. Prompt action must be taken to correct this deficiency.

A review of the listing for (b)(4), reveals that the active ingredients listed in the electronic listing file (SPL) do not match the active ingredients found in the labeling provided with the SPL. Specifically, the labeling includes (b)(4), while the electronic listing (b)(4).

 

Your firm failed to fulfill its listing obligations under Section 510(j) of the FD&C Act, which is a prohibited act under Section 301(p) (21 U.S.C. 360(j) and 331(p)). In addition, your firm’s failure to fulfill its listing obligations misbrands the product under Section 502(o) of the FD&C Act; introduction or delivery for introduction into interstate commerce of a misbranded product is a prohibited act under Section 301(a) (21 U.S.C. 352(o) and 331(a)).
