Purple Book
Database of Licensed Biological Products

The Purple Book database contains information on all FDA-licensed (approved) biological products regulated by the Center for Drug Evaluation and Research (CDER), including licensed biosimilar and interchangeable products, and their reference products. 

The Purple Book also contains information about all FDA-licensed allergenic, cellular and gene therapy, hematologic, and vaccine products regulated by the Center for Biologics Evaluation and Research (CBER). 

Enter a product's proprietary (brand) name or the nonproprietary (proper) name to find biological products. As you type, a list of potential results will begin to appear below the search box based on what you are typing. Click on a product from the auto-populated results list below to view the results page. The results page for your selected product will include all biological products that share a core name (i.e., biosimilar, interchangeable, reference, and related biological products).
