Pack: openfda · Endpoint: https://gateway.pipeworx.io/openfda/mcp
Most recent novel drug approvals — the newest drugs approved by the FDA. Use for “what is the most recent novel drug the FDA approved”, “latest FDA drug approvals”, “recently approved new drugs or biologics this month/year”. Returns original NDA/BLA approvals (generics excluded by default) sorted newest-first, with approval date, brand name, active ingredients, sponsor, and application number. Not for label text (fda_drug_labels) or searching a specific known drug (fda_drug_approvals).
