What does the third segment of the NDC number identify?

  1. Labeler (manufacturer) code

  2. Package size and type

  3. Product expiration date

  4. Strength, dosage, and formulation

The correct answer is: Package size and type

The correct identification for the third segment of the National Drug Code (NDC) number is related to the package size and type. In the NDC format, the entire code is typically divided into three segments: the first segment represents the labeler code, indicating the manufacturer or distributor; the second segment identifies the specific product details, such as the formulation and strength; and the third segment is indeed dedicated to providing information about the package size and type. This structure allows for a clear differentiation of drugs based on their packaging, which is crucial for pharmacy practice and the management of inventory, as well as for ensuring accurate dispensing.
