The companies are seeking FDA approval for the use of Acurox to provide relief from moderate to severe pain. Earlier this year, the FDA panel voted it did not have sufficient evidence to support the approval of Acurox for these conditions.

King Pharmaceuticals intends to provide an update on the regulatory status of Acurox soon, according to the report.
