Frequently Asked Questions

How often is the data updated?

The FDA publishes Orange Book updates monthly (usually around the 25th). We process and deliver updates within 5-7 days. Pro customers receive automatic update emails each month.

What file formats do you provide?

Excel (.xlsx), CSV (UTF-8), and a SQLite database. All formats contain the same complete data, just formatted differently for your preferred analysis tool.

Can I share this with my team?

Yes! The license allows sharing within your organization for internal use. You cannot redistribute publicly or resell the data.

How far back does the historical data go?

Why Not Just Use FDA's Free Data?
