1 FDA recall names the code 0008-1211-30 directly. A recall still applies to particular lot numbers — compare the lot on your package with the FDA notice below, and talk to your pharmacist before stopping a prescribed medication.
Presence of Foreign Tablets/Capsules: Pfizer is recalling 50 mg Pristiq (desvenlafaxine) extended release tablets because a single Pristiq 100 mg tablet was found in a bottle of 50 mg Pristiq.
Where to find this code. The NDC is printed on the pharmacy label and on the manufacturer's carton, usually as three groups of digits after “NDC”. The last group is the package size — two bottles of the same medicine can differ only in that group, and a recall may cover one but not the other.
