A federal judge ruled Tuesday that a generic drug that treats heartburn should be exempt from the government’s $3.9 billion marketing exclusivity, but the Food and Drug Administration has approved the drug instead.
The judge held that the generic drug, which is used to treat heartburn, should be exempt from the government’s marketing exclusivity, and that, if it is available, it should also be exempt from the government’s marketing exclusivity.
A spokeswoman for the drug manufacturer did not immediately return calls or emails.
The FDA rejected a similar argument, arguing that the generic drug is not medically necessary to treat heartburn, and that the exclusivity is not valid because the drug is not approved for use in adults.
“The FDA has approved the generic version of the drug,” said David S. Levitt, a spokesman for Pfizer Inc., which makes the drug.
“Pfizer has approved the generic form of Nexium, and we’re pleased to add a new generic to our database,” said Levitt, who will begin selling the drug in January. “We can’t see a change in how the agency is interpreting the drug, and it’s not going to do any harm.”
The generic drug, the active ingredient in Nexium, is also approved for use in adults, according to a statement from Pfizer.
The FDA has approved the generic version of the drug, but will not make that drug available on the market until July 2023.
The agency also said that it does not have authority to ban Nexium from entering the market, as it was rejected twice by the FDA in 2003.
The company has also been reviewing whether to ban the drug from entering the market, and it did so in 2005.
Levitt said that if the agency does not approve the drug, it will have to make the drug available to more people and then make a decision on whether the drug is appropriate for a person's health.
In 2007, the FDA approved the drug for use in children, with the drug’s label noting that the drug is not for use in children.
According to the company, the drug is not intended for use in children, and will be prescribed only for those who have or could benefit from the drug. The company has not received any public comment or regulatory agency approval for the use in children, and has not made any decision as to whether the drug will be used in children.
A spokeswoman for Pfizer said the company would not comment on whether the drug was approved for use in children.In addition, the company did not respond to multiple requests for comment.
The company also said that it would not comment on whether the drug will be approved for use in children.
The company did not respond to multiple requests for comment.
On Friday, the FDA’s advisory committee concluded that the drug does not have any approved indications, and that it is not considered safe for use in children.
Drugmaker AstraZeneca will sell Nexium in the United States for $1.37 per pill or $2.34 per tablet, based on a study conducted in 2004 by researchers at the University of Chicago School of Public Health.The agency rejected the company’s argument that the drug is not medically necessary to treat heartburn, and will not ban the drug until its approval.
Levitt said that he is pleased the drug is being approved for use in children, and is hopeful that the FDA will take action against the company if it does not allow it to enter the market.
The FDA’s approval of the drug came after a study of 7,000 children showed that a higher dose of the drug reduced the risk of developing ulcers in the stomach and intestines, but that the drug also significantly lowered the risk of heartburn and other stomach-related health conditions, as well as ulcers and inflammation in the esophagus.The study, published in the Journal of Gastroenterology, found that in the first year of use, the dose of Nexium was 5.5 times the recommended daily dose for all children and adolescents with heartburn. The study showed that the drug had no negative effect on heartburn.
The drug also has been associated with a higher risk of side effects, such as gastroesophageal reflux disease, the FDA said.

Nexium and acid reflux are two common conditions in which many people are concerned about: heartburn and gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD).
