The NDC is a universal number that identifies a drug. The NDC number consists of 11 digits in a 5-4-2 format. The first five digits identify the manufacturer of the drug and are assigned by the Food and Drug Administration.
The FDA assigns a 8 or 9 digit code called a National Drug Code (NDC) based on 2 halves. THe first half is a 5 digit number for the manufacturer and the second half is a 3 or 4 digit number that is used to identify a specific doseage and product for that manufacturer. The NDC code for this pill is 00254-3592. If you have the prescription bottle it should say the same thing.
