National Drug Code Directory

The Drug Listing Act of 1972 requires registered drug establishments to provide the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) with a current list of all drugs manufactured, prepared, propagated, compounded, or processed by it for commercial distribution. (See Section 510 of the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act (Act) (21 U.S.C. � 360)). Drug products are identified and reported using a unique, three-segment number, called the National Drug Code (NDC), which serves as a universal product identifier for drugs. FDA publishes the listed NDC numbers and the information submitted as part of the listing information in the NDC Directory which is updated daily.

1972年药品清单法案规定，已注册的药品生产企业须向食品药品监督管理局（FDA）提供一份包含其生产、制备、繁殖、混合或加工的、用于商业分销的所有药品的当前清单。（参见《联邦食品、药品和化妆品法案》（Act）第510节（21 U.S.C. § 360））。药品产品通过一个独特的三段式数字进行标识和报告，该数字称为国家药品代码（NDC），作为药品的通用产品标识。FDA发布清单中的NDC编号以及作为清单信息提交的相关信息，这些信息更新于NDC目录中，且每日更新。
