The move follows a similar withdrawal in the United States last August. The drug was developed by Japan's Toyama Chemical 4518.T, which was expected to get royalties on sales.

The European drugs watchdog said the withdrawal of garenoxacin followed a request for additional information, to which the company was unable to respond within the permitted timeframe.
