April 2015 saw the addition of 22 new generic equivalents (NDCs) and in the May 2015 Medicare Part D plan formulary data (or drug lists) updates an additional three (3) generics (NDCs) were added. The three May additions are highlighted in the chart below in bold.
The NDC uniquely identifies a particular drug, manufacturer, strength, and packaging combination. The NDC is often shown on your prescription bottle as an 11-digit code (see the charts below) or could be formatted as 00000-0000-00 where the first set of numbers identifies the manufacturer, the second set of number identifies the product and strength, and the third set of numbers identifies the packaging.
The following 25 manufacturer / drug / strength / packaging combinations (NDCs) were added to one or more Medicare Part D formularies in the recent updates. You can click on the NDC or Drug Name below to go to our Q1Medicare.com DrugFinder to see the details of how this drug is handled by all Medicare Part D Plans in Florida -- You can then change the state to your state for details in your service area.
It is of interest that
CLOPIDOGREL 75 MG TABLET had been on prior formularies, however it was produced by a different manufacturer -- therefore the change in the labeler portion of the National Drug Code (NDC).
