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
Lansoprazole is a proton pump inhibitor (PPI) medication used to treat conditions related to excess stomach acid, such as gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD), stomach ulcers, and acid-related inflammation of the esophagus. It works by reducing the amount of acid produced in the stomach, which can help relieve symptoms like heartburn, acid reflux, and stomach pain.
