National Drug Code
What is a NDC Code?
NDC (National Drug Code) codes are unique identifiers for medications and pharmaceutical products in the United States. Each NDC code identifies the specific drug, its manufacturer, package size, and type, helping ensure accurate medication tracking and billing.
Detailed Description
This NDC code represents epinephrine, a medication that mimics the hormone naturally produced by your adrenal glands. Epinephrine is most commonly used as an emergency treatment for severe allergic reactions (anaphylaxis), but can also be used for other medical conditions as determined by your healthcare provider. It works by rapidly opening airways, supporting blood pressure, and counteracting severe allergic reactions.
Additional Information
This is a potent medication that requires proper medical supervision. The specific formulation, strength, and manufacturer details would require the complete NDC number verification. Always follow your healthcare provider's instructions for use and storage.
