Wrong, homervb - FDA did not approve Emesyl - ITNS applied for and got a NDC number, which has nothing to do with FDA approval. Anyone can apply for and get a NDC number; others have posted about this issue before.

"FDA makes information available to the public about drug establishments and products through the NDC Directory. The NDC Directory is limited to prescription drugs and insulin products. The NDC, a unique ten-digit number, serves as a universal product identifier for human drugs in commercial distribution. FDA assigns the first five digits (known as the labeler code) and the registrant assigns the last 5-digits (known as the product and package code). Assignment of an NDC number does not denote approval of the product."
