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
Arexvy is a vaccine that helps protect adults aged 60 and older against respiratory syncytial virus (RSV). RSV is a common respiratory virus that can cause serious illness in older adults, including pneumonia and bronchitis. This vaccine is given as a single injection, typically in the upper arm muscle. It works by helping your immune system recognize and fight RSV if you're exposed to it.
Additional Information
This is a relatively new RSV vaccine approved by the FDA in 2023. Patients should discuss with their healthcare provider whether this vaccine is appropriate for their individual health situation.
