National Drug Code
Cetacaine Anesthetic
1 FDA recall names the code 10223-0202-04 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.
Subpotent Drug: Cetacaine Topical Anesthetic Liquid is being recalled because one of the three active ingredients, tetracaine, is below the specification limit at the 21 month stability test point.
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.
