National Drug Code
Melatonin
1 FDA recall names the code 8770-1408-13 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; MELATONIN, Tablet, 3 mg may be potentially mislabeled as VITAMIN B COMPLEX, Capsule, NDC 00536478701, Pedigree: AD32757_4, EXP: 5/13/2014; MULTIVITAMIN/ MULTIMINERAL/ LUTEIN, Capsule, NDC 24208063210, Pedigree: W003025, EXP: 6/12/2014; LACTASE ENZYME, Tablet, 3000 units, NDC 24385014976, Pedigree: W003721, EXP: 6/26/2014; GLUCOSAMINE/CHONDROITIN DS, Capsule, 500 mg/400
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.
