A District of Columbia federal judge has upheld the Food and Drug Administration’s approval of a generic heart failure medication without deferring to the agency’s interpretation of the Food, Drug and Cosmetic Act.

U.S. District Judge Dabney L. Friedrich, bound by the U.S. Supreme Court’s Loper Bright decision overturning “Chevron deference,” has rejected Hogan Lovells’ arguments accusing the FDA of unlawfully approving generic Entresto.
