User reviews

Bad!

This app does not work at all only pulls up 20% of the codes that you try and search. Leave it to the government to make a really bad app. You’re better off just imputing your NDC numbers in google.

Needs to be updated

I haven’t been able to find any NDC in the app.

Doesn’t pull up by NDC

I tried looking up 3 ndc’s I have on hand, nothing came up whatsoever. Fairly useless if you are searching by ndc.

Handy tool, requires correct format

A useful tool for looking up no -biologic drugs approved by FDA. It requires that you use the correct format for NDC codes, which may not be obvious to all. For billing purposes, the NDC codes are usually converted to 11-digit codes, but this app requires the original 10-digit code in its hyphenated format, i.e., 4-4-2, 5-3-2, or 5-4-1. Once you do this, results are quickly available. It would be useful to have the formatting requirements listed clearly alongside the search as I see others have had trouble using this app successfully. It would also be convenient if the results included links to the NDAs or the most recent label, but perhaps that’s for another update.
