Animal Drugs @ FDA is a searchable online database that includes most FDA-approved and conditionally approved animal drugs. Indexed animal drugs are not listed in Animal Drugs @ FDA.

At the top of the page, you can do either a quick search or an advanced search of the database using several parameters, including proprietary name (also known as trade name or brand name), active ingredient, and application number. New Animal Drug Applications are for approved brand name animal drugs and Abbreviated New Animal Drug Applications are for approved generic animal drugs. 

Supporting Documents

Animal Drugs @ FDA also includes supporting documents for approved animal drugs:

• Environmental Documents—These documents include Environmental Assessments (EAs) and  Findings of No Significant Impact (FONSIs). You can search the documents by the established or chemical name of the drug’s active ingredient. For more information about these environmental documents, see Environmental Impact Considerations. 
• FOIA Drug Summaries—A Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) Drug Summary describes the safety and effectiveness information submitted by the drug company to FDA to support the drug’s approval. For more information about these summaries, see Freedom of Information (FOI) Summaries for Approved New Animal Drugs. 
• NSAID Labels—This is a partial collection of the labels for currently approved nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) for dogs and cats. You can search the labels by the active ingredient of the approved NSAID. For more information about these drugs, see Get the Facts about Pain Relievers for Pets. 
• Blue Bird Labels—This is a collection of representative labeling (called “Blue Bird” labels) for feed that contains an approved animal drug (called a medicated feed) for food-producing animals. The Bird Blue labels are guides for manufacturers of medicated feed for how to prepare the final printed labels. You can search the labels by animal group. For more information about these labels, see Blue Bird Labels.
