Holy smokes, two weeks worth the FDA updates

Yeah, I've been slacking - AGAIN - I feel bad, sorry. Here are bunches of FDA updates for you to add to your Drug Book if needed. Enjoy!!!

Oh, a word about these FDA updates. Sometimes the FDA approves different companies to put out the same medication. I just put the drugs that are approvals so sometimes they may already be drugs in the drug books, but I just put them anyway instead of checking to see if they're a repeat drug.
