National Drug Code
Acyclovir
1 FDA recall names the code 0093-8940-01 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.
This code is not in the current FDA NDC directory — usual for a product that has since been discontinued or repackaged. The details below come from the recall notices themselves.
Labeling: Label Mixup: ACYCLOVIR, Capsule, 200 mg may have potentially been mislabeled as one of the following drugs: CYANOCOBALAMIN, Tablet, 1000 mcg, NDC 00904421713, Pedigree: AD60240_51, EXP: 5/22/2014; METOPROLOL TARTRATE, Tablet, 25 mg, NDC 57664050652, Pedigree: W002841, EXP: 6/7/2014; METOPROLOL TARTRATE, Tablet, 50 mg, NDC 00093073301, Pedigree: W003900, EXP: 6/27/2014; acetaZOLAMIDE
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.
