BP650

I'm glad you brought up this pill again. We've been looking for almost a month since the question was first posted and didn't find anything.

I just checked a couple of databases, and the imprint is now in one of them. Round peach tablet imprinted BP 650 is benzphetamine hydrochloride 50 mg, a drug used for weight loss. It's made by Boca Pharmacal and was approved by the FDA in April 2007.

Its pretty bad when the FDA

Its pretty bad when the FDA is so far behind that they dont even have it listed. They only have 4 companies listed for manufacturing Benzphetamine HCL.

It's Okay

Yes, I checked the FDA after finding the imprint in the database since I like confirmation. And I didn't see Boca listed. But a quick search for Boca Pharmacal found the website, confirmation of the imprint and this press release:

Quote:

Exclusive Marketing Agreement with Tedor to Market Generic Version of Didrex(R)

The agreement with Tedor Pharma provides Boca Pharmacal with exclusive marketing and distribution rights for the generic version of Didrex(R) (Benzphetamine Hydrochloride) in 50mg tablet formats for oral administration. Benzphetamine Hydrochloride is used to decrease appetite in overweight and obese patients. "Boca Pharmacal and Tedor Pharma share the same corporate vision of offering top quality products manufactured and marketed in accordance with FDA regulations in a professional manner," said Theodore Iorio, President of Tedor Pharma.

 

And Tedor is listed by the FDA, so all is okay.Laughing

NDC Number

Yes, it is kind of weird. I can't find a prescribing insert but I assume Tedor is making the tablets for Boca to market. The NDC is Boca's - 64376 - yet benzphetamine is not listed under Boca's approvals.

Maybe the NDC is not yet updated to reflect the marketing agreement?
