The company received approval of an abbreviated new drug application (ANDA) from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for this product, which will be marketed and distributed by Upsher-Smith.
Sandoz, Inc. will continue as the licensed marketer and distributor in the U.S. for the balance of the Klor-Con line of potassium products.
