The FDA’s Office of Generic Drugs received 57 ANDAs in January, marking a nearly 76 percent decrease in submissions from the previous month, when the agency experienced a surge in applications.
The submission total recorded last month is the lowest since April — when the FDA received 56 ANDAs — and falls short of last year’s submission average of 71 ANDAs per month.
