The FDA has launched a mobile application (app) to offer access to National Drug Code (NDC) data from phones or tablets. The new app, NDC Express, presents the NDC database in a mobile-friendly format, using display and navigation features available in both Android and iOS devices.
The Drug Listing Act of 1972 requires registered drug establishments to provide FDA with a current list of all drugs manufactured, prepared, propagated, compounded, or processed for commercial distribution.
The drug products are universally identified with a unique, three-segment number. FDA publishes the listed NDC numbers and other submitted information in the NDC Directory, which is updated daily.
The NDC Express can be downloaded for free at iTunes (for Apple devices) or Google Play store (for Android devices).
