NDC is a universal product identifier for human drugs. Each drug product listed is assigned a unique 11-digit, 3-segment number. This number, known as NDC identifies the labeler or vendor, product, and trade package size. Access to the NDC Library enables users to enter new NDC ID values to the library. A user only has access when the security right for the NDC Libraries module is selected (under ) for the group that the user is in.
