Prasco is the key here for API. Its an authorized generic or at least was, may still be. Not sure but what weight that carries, I am not sure. However, I did find that Prasco was not in many of the stores Elite is marketing.
Like the CVS, walgreens etc...So that may shed some light on why Elite was able to make this deal. Sales and marketing who knew....
But the key is how the FDA will view this. and if it is the authorized generic, will that carry any weight
