National Drug Code
Lithium Carbonate · 100 TABLET, EXTENDED RELEASE in 1 BOTTLE, PLASTIC (0054-0021-25)
1 FDA recall names the code 0054-0021-25 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.
Labeling: Label Mixup: LITHIUM CARBONATE ER, Tablet, 300 mg may be potentially mislabled as the following drug: VITAMIN B COMPLEX PROLONGED RELEASE, Tablet, 50 mg, NDC 40985022251, Pedigree: AD39588_10, EXP: 5/13/2014.
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.
