National Drug Code
Irinotecan Hydrochloride · 2 mL in 1 VIAL, GLASS (0143-9702-01)
1 FDA recall names the code 0143-9702-01 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.
Superpotent Drug: a recent review of the USP revealed that an incorrect calculation was used to determine the amount of irinotecan to use in formulation which will result in an assay higher than the labeled claim.
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.
