Question

the middle set of numbers in a national drug code (ndc) number represents the:

a. distributor.

b. manufacturer.

c. package size.

d. product.

Explanation:

A National Drug Code (NDC) number has three segments. The first segment is the labeler (manufacturer), the middle segment represents the product, and the last segment is the package size. So we analyze each option:

• Option A: Distributor is not represented by the middle segment.
• Option B: Manufacturer is the first segment, not the middle.
• Option C: Package size is the last segment.
• Option D: The middle segment of NDC is for the product.

Answer:

D. product
