National Drug Code
Methotrexate · 1 VIAL, SINGLE-DOSE in 1 CARTON (61703-408-41) / 40 mL in 1 VIAL, SINGLE-DOSE
1 FDA recall names the code 61703-0408-41 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.
The affected lots of Carboplatin Injection, Cytarabine Injection, Methotrexate Injection, USP, and Paclitaxel Injection are being recalled due to visible particles embedded in the glass located at the neck of the vial. There may be the potential for product to come into contact with the embedded particles and the particles may become dislodged into the solution.
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.
