National Drug Code
Magnesium Sulfate in Water
1 FDA recall names the code 0409-6729-03 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.
Correct Labeled Product Mispack: confirmed report involving a single unit of properly labeled Heparin in 0.45% Sodium Chloride for Injection (NDC 0409-7651-03, Lot 87903FW) that was found inside a case of Magnesium Sulfate in Water for Injection.
Labeling: Incorrect Barcode: Primary bag labeling may be mislabeled with the wrong barcode which scans in as heparin sodium.
Superpotent (Single Ingredient) Drug: Above specification assay results for percentage of magnesium sulfate.
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.
