LEVAMISOLE HYDROCHLORIDE

DL9055K809


LEVAMISOLE

2880D3468G


These two pages are NOT linked:
https://drugs.ncats.io/drug/2880D3468G
https://drugs.ncats.io/drug/DL9055K809

Even though the correct parent is given as the active moiety in GSRS
https://ginas.ncats.nih.gov/ginas/app/substance/DL9055K809

For the hydrochloride, its 'approval' status is given via Pharm Manu Encycl:
https://stitcher.ncats.io/api/stitches/v1/DL9055K809

The parent page correctly lists approved NDA 20-035
https://www.accessdata.fda.gov/scripts/cder/daf/index.cfm?event=overview.process&ApplNo=020035
{
}

However, the status is given as 'Withdrawn'. I believe discontinued might be a more correct status for this drug in the US.

Searches online seem to indicate that it is only approved as a vet product, but in fact that vet product's approval was rescinded in 2010:
