NDC Number

The National Drug Code is a unique 10-digit 3-segment number assigned to each drug product listed with FDA. This number is known as NDC Number. The first 5 digits (first segment) identify the labeler or Drug Manufacturer. This is assigned by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) upon submission of a Labeler Code Request.

The second segment (next 3 digits) identifies the Drug, and the third segment (last 2 digits) is the package code, which identifies package sizes and types. The Drug code and package code are assigned by the labeler. The official FDA format for NDC number separates the 3 segments with dashes. Request for NDC Number is submitted to FDA through FDA electronic submission Gateway using SPL files with coded data fields.
