Determination That TOVALT ODT (Zolpidem Tartrate) Orally Disintegrating Tablets, 5 Milligrams and 10 Milligrams, Were Not Withdrawn From Sale for Reasons of Safety or Effectiveness
FDA determined that TOVALT ODT (zolpidem tartrate) orally disintegrating tablets, 5 mg and 10 mg, were not withdrawn from sale for safety or effectiveness reasons. This allows ANDA holders to continue referencing the drug as a Reference Listed Drug (RLD) and supports generic competition.
