    ​Hello,

    We are exploring an  auto generic/ or second brand option for one of our marketed products and I was wondering if anyone had any experience  with 'authorized generics' and next steps from a regulatory perspective. The FDA website (link provided below) just mentions that the NDA holder has to notify the FDA if it markets an authorized generic.

    Is there anything else from a brand name perspective or labeling perspective that we as the sponsor are required to do before we market an authorized generic?

    Any feedback or guidance would be much appreciated!
