New Life for Old Antibiotics – Senate Passes Bill Creating New Exclusivity Provisions; House Passage is Expected Very Soon

According to a blog post on fdalawblog...
Yesterday, the U.S. Senate passed S. 3560, the “QI Program Supplemental Funding Act of 2008.” Section 4 of the bill would amend the FDC Act to add new subsection 505(v) – “Antibiotic Drugs Submitted Before November 21, 1997” – to create Hatch-Waxman benefits for so-called “old” antibiotics.

The details can be read here.

Does anyone have a list of the antibiotics affected by this potential change?
