About this code

The National Drug Code identifies a drug product and its package. The FDA publishes the codes that labelers assign in the NDC Directory.

An NDC has three segments, the labeler, the product and the package, separated by hyphens. The first two segments alone are the product NDC.

Example: 0078-1371 atorvastatin
