Orange Book does not suck. 😡
If you can't figure out how to use it, just drop out now, before you have to tackle PubMed, Micromedex and so on.

Honestly, orange book does suck. The site is well beyond its years, can use an update, and the system in which it compares drugs is stupid. We can all handle lexi, micromedex, pubmed, etc, but orange book like I said just sucks.
What do I do when I get an Rx for Zanaflex 4 mg capsules? Change to tizanidine 4mg tablets. Who else does that? Or do you tell your customer you can't change it and the copay is $75. Sorry, it's 8 pm, I would have to call your doctor tomorrow for me to change it when the office is open. Yes, I know you are having a back spasm now. Sorry, it's not me, its the doctor.
Anyways, I got off point. Orange book sucks. It sucks.

Orange Book on the web is often not up to date. Although it looks like Orange Book data is fed into First DataBank, they and Medispan are faster at adding new drugs as soon as they are marketed. (They have to be, as they market their databases to suppliers and payers). I think they just use the "Z" ratings until Orange Book catches up, and code for generic equivalence themselves if there is an ANDA.
