What is ndc nedir?

NDC, which stands for National Drug Code, is a unique identification code that is assigned to each individual medication or medical device regulated by the United States Food and Drug Administration (FDA). It is a 10-digit code (divided into three segments) that is displayed on the drug's packaging and is used to identify the manufacturer or distributor of the product, the specific product itself, and the packaging size or format. The NDC code is used by healthcare professionals, insurance companies, and pharmacies to accurately track and manage medications throughout the supply chain. Failure to include valid NDC codes on prescription drugs can result in significant penalties and fines for manufacturers and pharmacies.
