Frequently asked questions

What is the NovaPharmaNews drugs directory?

It is a searchable index of 3,187 pharmaceutical active ingredients and their marketed profiles — INN, brand names, US regulatory status, manufacturers, and cross-links to clinical pipeline and patent records.

Where does drug approval data come from?

Profiles combine FDA Drugs@FDA and Orange Book references, ClinicalTrials.gov pipeline links, and editorial enrichment. See our data sources page for attribution and update cadence. This directory is for professional reference, not medical advice.

How do I find a drug by brand name?

Use the search box on this page — it matches both INN (generic name) and slug. Brand names appear on each drug row and on the full drug profile page, with links to the originator company when available.
