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 NDC code represents Alphagan P, a prescription eye drop medication used to treat glaucoma and reduce elevated pressure inside the eye. The specific product comes in packets with a strength of 7.5-2.691 grams and is taken orally according to the search results, though this appears to be an error as Alphagan P is typically an eye drop medication. This medication helps lower intraocular pressure to prevent vision loss associated with glaucoma.
Additional Information
Note: The search results indicate this is an oral medication, but Alphagan P is typically administered as eye drops. Patients should verify the correct administration method with their healthcare provider.
