FDA Orange Book - Online

In case you didn't know, the FDA's Orange Book is now available online. The folks at Foley & Lardner LLP state, "The FDA's Approved Drug Products List with Therapeutic Equivalence Evaluations, commonly referred to as the Orange Book, was introduced in 1979, and since its introduction has unquestionably been the authoritative reference source for drug products approved by FDA under the Federal Food, Drug & Cosmetic Act. No longer a printed book, but a database available on FDA's website, the Orange Book lists all products that have been approved by FDA for safety and effectiveness, and explains the therapeutic equivalence code for multi-source products." The FDA website makes the following Orange Book resources available to you . . .
