Dear Director Buehler and Dockets Management staff,

I am writing to strongly urge FDA to immediately approve generic ribavirin capsules for use in the treatment of hepatitis C and to oppose the recently submitted "Citizen Petition" by the brand manufacture of this drug simply designed to delay that approval. The petition is yet another tactic by brand drug makers to misuse the FDA in a desperate effort to deny people with hepatitis C legal and timely access to competitive, safe, effective, lower cost equivalent treatments. 

Please approve generic ribavirin applications as soon as possible!
