Labeler Namelabeler_nameThe corporate name of the entity identified by the labeler code.string
NDCndcThe National Drug Code (NDC) is a numerical code maintained by the FDA that includes the labeler code, product code, and package code. The NDC is an 11-digit code.string
Labeler Codelabeler_codeThe first segment of the National Drug Code that identifies the labeler.string
Product Codeproduct_codeThe second segment of the National Drug Code that identifies the product.string
Package Size Codepackage_size_codeThe third segment of the National Drug Code that identifies the package size.string
Drug Categorydrug_categoryThis field indicates whether the drug is single source (S), innovator multiple source(I), or non- innovator multiple source (N). Valid Values: N = Non-innovator multiple source S = Single source I = Innovator multiple sourcestring
Drug Type Indicatordrug_type_indicatorThis field identifies a drug as prescription (Rx) or Over-the-Counter (OTC). Valid values: 1 = Rx 2 = OTCinteger
Termination Datetermination_dateThe date on which the drug was withdrawn from market or the drug's last lot expiration date.date
Unit Typeunit_typeOne of the 8 unit types by which a drug can be dispensed. Valid Values: AHF = Injectable Anti-Hemophilic Factor CAP = Capsule SUP = Suppository GM = Gram ML = Milliliter TAB = Tablet TDP = Transdermalstring
Units Per Pkg Sizeunits_per_pkg_sizeThe total number of units in the smallest dispensable amount for the 11-digit NDC.string
FDA Approval Datefda_approval_dateThe NDC or monograph approval date.date
Market Datemarket_dateFor S, I, and N drugs marketed under an FDA-approved application (e.g. BLA, NDA, ANDA), the earliest date the drug was first marketed under the application number by any labeler. For drugs marketed without an FDA-approved application (e.g. OTC monograph, unapproved drug), the earliest date the drug was first marketed by any labeler. For all drugs (i.e., those marketed with or without an FDA-approved application), if a drug was purchased or otherwise acquired from another labeler, the Market Date should be equal to the Market Date of the original product. Thus, the Market Date of a drug is frequently not the date on which a labeler began marketing the drug, but may be a much earlier date. If a Market Date falls on a date that is earlier than 9/30/1990, CMS will change it to 9/30/1990 in both the Medicaid Drug Rebate (MDR) system and the Drug Data Reporting for Medicaid (DDR) system since dates earlier than the start of the Drug Rebate Program have no bearing on the program. Numeric values, 8-digit field, format: MM/DD/YYYY.date
FDA Therapeutic Equivalence Codefda_therapeutic_equivalence_codeThe Therapeutic Equivalence Code (TEC) reported to CMS should correspond to the FDA Therapeutic Equivalence (TE) Code assigned to a product by the FDA. More information regarding FDA TE Codes can be found at the Orange Book at: http://www.accessdata.fda.gov/scripts/cder/ob/default.cfm or Drugs@FDA at: http://www.accessdata.fda.gov/scripts/cder/drugsatfda/index.cfm?fuseaction=Search.Addlsearch_drug name. It is important to note that while the FDA generally assigns a two letter TE Code value (e.g., AB) to products, in some cases the value is two letters plus a number (e.g., AB1). Since DDR restricts values reported in the TEC field to two characters, some FDA TE Codes need to be converted to a two-character format. Specifically, if the FDA assigned TE Code is AB1, AB2, etc., the corresponding TEC value should be reported in DDR as A1, A2, etc. Alpha-numeric values, 2 character field. Valid Values: A1 A6 AB BC BR A2 A7 AN BD BS A3 A8 AO BE BT A4 A9 AP BN BX A5 AA AT BP NR (Not Rated)string

If the product was purchased from another company, the Package Size Introduction Date should equal the date the package size is first available on the market under the labeler code of the company currently holding legal title to the NDC.date
Purchased Product Datepurchased_product_dateThe date on which the company currently holding legal title to the NDC first markets the drug under this NDC (this date can result, for example, from the purchase of an NDC from one company by another company, the re-designation of an NDC from one of a company's labeler codes to another of that same company's labeler codes, cross-licensing arrangements, etc…).date
COD Statuscod_statusA category that identifies whether or not a product meets the statutory definition of a covered outpatient drug in accordance with sections 1927(k)(2) to 1927(k)(4) of the Social Security Act.

Line Extension Drug Indicatorline_extension_drug_indicatorIdentifies whether or not a product is a line extension drug as defined inSection 1927(c)(2)(C) of the Social SecurityAct, including whether the drug is excluded from the statutory definition of a line extension on the basis of being an abuse-deterrent formulation (ADF).

CMS's description

Active drugs that have been reported by participating drug manufacturers under the Medicaid Drug Rebate Program. All drugs are identified by National Drug Code (NDC), unit type, units per package size, product name, Food and Drug Administration (FDA) approval date, the date the drug entered the market, plus indicators to show whether the drug is an innovator or non-innovator drug; whether it is available by prescription or over-the-counter (OTC); the FDA therapeutic equivalency code; and the Drug Efficacy Study Implementation (DESI) rating and termination date. Each quarter posted represents a snapshot of data in the system at that time and is not updated by subsequent changes.

The summary at the top was written by hand from this description. Record id mcd:0ad65fe5-3ad3-5d79-a3f9-7893ded7963a. This record as JSON.
