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 is the NDC code for Boostrix, a vaccine that protects against three serious bacterial infections: tetanus (lockjaw), diphtheria, and pertussis (whooping cough). It's a combination vaccine containing inactivated toxins and bacterial components that help your immune system build protection against these diseases. This is typically given as a booster shot to maintain immunity.
Additional Information
Boostrix is specifically formulated as a Tdap booster vaccine for adolescents and adults. The vaccine contains inactivated bacterial toxins and components that cannot cause the actual diseases but stimulate immune protection.
