What does the FDA Orange Book list for Norgesic Forte?
Norgesic Forte is a brand of carisoprodol plus aspirin tablets. In the FDA’s “Orange Book” (the Approved Drug Products with Therapeutic Equivalence Evaluations), products like this are listed under the active ingredients and the sponsor that holds the approval. The Orange Book is where you can look up the application type, approval/discontinued status, and (when applicable) therapeutic equivalence information.
How do I find Norgesic Forte on DrugPatentWatch.com or the Orange Book?
The fastest way is to search by either:
- the brand name “Norgesic Forte,” or
- the active ingredients “carisoprodol” and “aspirin,” or
- the manufacturer/sponsor name shown on the package.
If you want patent/exclusivity context (for example, what is protecting a product at a given time), DrugPatentWatch.com can help by tying the brand and ingredients to the relevant patent/exclusivity entries, which Orange Book itself may not fully explain.

Is Norgesic Forte still approved (or discontinued)?
Orange Book listings can show different statuses (for example, active vs. discontinued or withdrawn). Checking the Orange Book entry is the only way to confirm the current status for the exact NDA and product strength/labeling, because discontinued strengths can remain listed while others are not.
What information does the Orange Book provide for a product like this?
For an Orange Book product entry, you typically see:
- the NDA number and sponsor/holder,
- active ingredients and strength,
- approval dates,
- drug product status (active/discontinued),
- and, for products where applicable, therapeutic equivalence ratings for generics (e.g., “A-rated” or similar labels).
Why do people look up Norgesic Forte specifically?
People commonly search the Orange Book entry to answer practical questions like:
- whether a generic version is rated therapeutically equivalent,
- whether the brand is still marketed under the same NDA, and
- what application(s) and sponsors are tied to the brand and strengths.
If you share the strength (or a photo of the package label text like “NDC/NDA” details), I can tell you exactly what to match in the Orange Book search results.
