`
`bottle seal label submitted on March 31, 2016, and must be in the "Drug Facts" format (21 CFR

`
`The FPL for NDA 209090 must be identical to the 5 fluid ounce (fl. oz.) carton (bottle)

`
`The FPL should be submitted electronically according to the guidance for industry titled
`“Providing Regulatory Submissions in Electronic Format — Certain Human Pharmaceutical
`Product Applications and Related Submissions Using the eCTD Specifications (May 2015,
`Revision 3).” For administrative purposes, designate this submission “Final Printed Labeling
`for approved NDA 209089” or “Final Printed labeling for approved NDA 209090” as
`appropriate. Approval of these submissions by FDA are not required before the labeling is used.
`
`
`DRUG REGISTRATION AND LISTING
`
`All drug establishment registration and drug listing information is to be submitted to FDA
`electronically, via the FDA automated system for processing structured product labeling (SPL)
`files (eLIST). At the time that you submit your final printed labeling (FPL), the content of
`labeling (Drug Facts) should be submitted in SPL format as described at
`http://www.fda.gov/ForIndustry/DataStandards/StructuredProductLabeling/default.htm.
`Information on submitting SPL files using eLIST may be found in the guidance for industry
`titled “SPL Standard for Content of Labeling Technical Qs and As” at
`http://www.fda.gov/downloads/Drugs/GuidanceComplianceRegulatoryInformation/Guidances/U
`CM072392.pdf. In addition, representative container or carton labeling, whichever includes
`Drug Facts, (where differences exist only in the quantity of contents statement) should be
`submitted as a JPG file.
`
`REQUIRED PEDIATRIC ASSESSMENTS
`
`Under the Pediatric Research Equity Act (PREA) (21 U.S.C. 355c), all applications for new
`active ingredients, new indications, new dosage forms, new dosing regimens, or new routes of
`administration are required to contain an assessment of the safety and effectiveness of the
`product for the claimed indication(s) in pediatric patients unless this requirement is waived,
`deferred, or inapplicable.
`
`Because none of these criteria apply to your applications, you are exempt from this requirement.
