Rarely, I've seen medications not listed in recent PDRs but the full long page ones are usually based on the PI (prescribing information) which is found on a manufacturer's website and I believe is also required to be in the full bottle in the pharmacy -- that I'm not sure of, but is part of the NDA given to the FDA as well and can often be found there too.
Older drugs will not be listed on the FDA website in that detail. As far as I know, almost all agents that are in the "FDA orange book", which is every marketed agent, is usually in the PDR.
If it is an orphan drug or one that is pretty rarely prescribed and almost discontinued, there is a chance that it may not appear although the few MAOIs that exist here I would think would be in there.
At some point the NDA/PIs in the past had few categories in their list and you can see that in the book for drugs that still exist from say, the 1960s; now new agents have all sorts of charts and tables and graphs and multiple double blind tests, as increased requirements became the case.-- Jay
