Description
The National Drug Code (NDC) is a unique 10 or 11 digit, three-segment numeric identifier used in the United States for drugs intended for human use. The segments identify the labeler, product, and trade package. This attribute follows the format required under Section 510 of the US Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act, with segment rules governing the combination of digits. The full NDC includes the labeler, product, and package codes, separated by dashes, and must comply with the Drug Listing Act of 1972.
