Class II · Moderate risk
MERCapsuleTOPURINE
Labeling: Label Mixup: MERCapsuleTOPURINE, Tablet, 50 mg may have potentially been mislabeled as the following drug: ASCORBIC ACID, Tablet, 500 mg, NDC 00904052380, Pedigree: AD54576_4, EXP: 5/20/2014.
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.
