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
