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 medication that combines two pain relievers: oxycodone hydrochloride (5mg) and acetaminophen (325mg) in tablet form. Oxycodone is an opioid pain medication used for moderate to severe pain, while acetaminophen is a non-opioid pain reliever that also reduces fever. This combination medication is typically prescribed for pain management when other treatments are insufficient. The specific NDC code 00406-0512-05 identifies this particular formulation and packaging by the manufacturer.
