National Drug Code
Patterson Dental Topical Anesthetic · 30 g in 1 JAR (50227-1002-3)
1 FDA recall names the code 50227-1002-03 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.
CGMP deviations: the bulk product was rejected by the Quality Unit after routine inspection of the mixing vessel showed scratches on the sides and bottom of the mixing vessel. Product was to be rejected but was inadvertently released and shipped to customers.
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.
