If you wanted to start a pharma company and start manufacturing (not compounding) a combination of existing drugs, would you need to file an ANDA or an NDA?
For example, let's say that you wanted to manufacture a tablet with 500mg metformin and 20mg of simvastatin. As far as the FDA is concerned, this would be a new drug.
What I am confused about is whether a NDA would be necessary for combinations of drugs when each of the individual components has already been approved.
