Product mix up: complaint received that sealed medication bottle contained Carbidopa, Levodopa, and Entacapone film-coated tablets (37.5 mg/150 mg/200 mg) instead of labelled lower strength Carbidopa, Levodopa, and Entacapone film-coated tablets (25 mg/100 mg/200 mg).
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.
