FDA approves new database animal drug

The US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has 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.
