Each account value is purchase ROAS multiplied by cost per purchase in USD. Successful classifications, including manual corrections, with positive finite spend, purchases, ROAS and cost per purchase. Accounts are counted once with equal weight. Quartiles use linear interpolation. Root cohorts include direct root classifications and their child categories; exact-child cohorts exclude parent and sibling categories. The source selects the highest-spend coverage row per account among snapshots dated within the preceding 30 days; the underlying reporting period is not supplied. This is a dated aggregate advertising-data snapshot, not business-wide AOV or a census.

FDA describes the US Purple Book as a database of FDA-licensed biological products, including CDER products and specified CBER categories. That is a biological-product registry scope, not a definition of every commercial specialty-drug offer. Identify the named product and distinguish a marketing category from its regulatory record.

No. FDA says some US biosimilars are approved as interchangeable and others are not; a company must specifically request that designation. An offer should state the particular product's status instead of extending interchangeability across the category. This distinction provides no treatment or substitution advice.

FDA says an interchangeable biosimilar may be substituted for its reference product without prescriber intervention, subject to state pharmacy law. A US advertiser should preserve that jurisdictional condition. The designation alone does not establish what a particular pharmacy will dispense or what an insurer will cover.

FDA identifies the US Purple Book as a searchable record of licensed biological products, biosimilars, interchangeable products and reference products, with product-label links. Suggested practice: verify the exact named product and label before publishing a status statement. This packet researches the verification route, not a particular medicine's record.
