NDC

Also known as: national drug code

The National Drug Code — a unique identifier carried by every drug marketed in the United States.

In plain terms

An NDC identifies the labeller, the product, and the package size. If a product claims FDA approval, it has an NDC, and the code on the carton should match what Drugs@FDA lists.
