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 a prescription topical medication that combines two active ingredients: clotrimazole, which treats fungal infections, and betamethasone dipropionate, which reduces inflammation, swelling, and itching. This combination medication is applied directly to the skin to treat fungal skin infections that also involve inflammation.
