Kroger Pharmacy Technician Level 3 Practice Test

Which elements does the National Drug Code (NDC) identify?

Manufacturer, product, and package size Drug interactions, side effects, and contraindications Patient name, dosage, and administration route Dispense date, lot number, and storage conditions

Correct Answer:

Manufacturer, product, and package size

Explanation:

The NDC identifies the drug product by three parts: the manufacturer (labeler), the specific product (drug, strength, dosage form), and the package size or type. This standardized code uniquely labels each product and its packaging, aiding pharmacists, insurers, and suppliers in dispensing the exact item and processing accurate billing and recalls. It does not convey information about the patient, drug interactions, side effects, or contraindications. It also isn’t about dispensing date, lot numbers, or storage conditions. So the option listing manufacturer, product, and package size matches what the NDC identifies.
