FDA: New database animal drug approvals

// 07 oct 2008

The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) launched a database called Animal Drugs @ FDA.

The new database allows users to search for detailed descriptions of all FDA-approved new animal drugs. "Animal Drugs @ FDA" replaces the "Database of Approved Animal Drug Products," or Green Book, a database that was previously developed and managed by the Virginia-Maryland Regional College of Veterinary Medicine (VMRCVM) Drug Information Laboratory at Virginia Tech University.

The search tool allows users to conduct simple word searches, as well as more complex searches using specific criteria that include: Ingredients, Dose Form, Route, Species, and Indication.
