Minesoft Orangebook: Pharmaceutical Industry Intelligence At Your Fingertips

Online, July 28, 2011 (Newswire.com) - Minesoft Orangebook: Pharmaceutical Industry Intelligence at your fingertips

London, United Kingdom

Minesoft - a global leader in intelligent patent information solutions - today launched a new free service for searching the authoritative drug database from the FDA.
Minesoft Orangebook offers a powerful, user-friendly interface for searching the FDA's electronic database of approved generic drug products.

A vital resource for competitive intelligence in the pharmaceuticals industry, Minesoft Orangebook enables users to search for drugs with a specific active ingredient, view the approval history of a drug, and keep an eye on patent expiry dates - all powered behind the scenes by a special indexing system for enhanced data retrieval.

Minesoft Orangebook can be searched by drug proprietary name, active ingredient, patent number, pharmaceutical applicant name and application number. The database can even be searched by exclusivity expiry - an important but often obscured detail which Minesoft Orangebook makes visible. All of this crucial knowledge is made accessible via the kind of intuitive user interface for which Minesoft has become renowned, and daily updates provide the most current information available about newly approved generic drugs.

As Ann Chapman, Director of Minesoft stated, "This new tool is essential for our clients who are working in pharmaceuticals today looking to bring new drugs to market. Minesoft Orangebook puts critical pharmaceutical industry intelligence right at your fingertips, and complements our existing range of innovative patent information solutions such as PatBase and PatentArchive Alert Management in enabling users to remain competitively aware in core fields. Years ago, we considered making the FDA Drug data more easily accessible, as a free resource for all pharmaceutical researchers in Business and R&D environments. Here it is."
