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 Rosuvastatin Calcium 10 mg tablets, which are film-coated tablets used to help lower cholesterol levels in the blood. Rosuvastatin belongs to a class of medications called statins, which work by blocking an enzyme that your body needs to make cholesterol. This helps reduce the amount of cholesterol produced by your liver and can help prevent heart disease and stroke. The tablets are manufactured as generic versions (ANDA - Abbreviated New Drug Application) and are typically dispensed in various package sizes.
Additional Information
This is a generic version of a statin medication. Patients should take as prescribed and report any unusual muscle pain, weakness, or other side effects to their healthcare provider. Regular blood tests may be required to monitor effectiveness and safety.
