Gather Your Information

First, get your prescription drug and anything else that came with it from the pharmacy, including the container it came in (pill bottle, box, vial, etc.) or other packaging or labels.

2
Search for Your Drug
Enter the drug name and company name from your label. If you're unsure about either, leave it blank. You'll be able to narrow the results on the next page. We don’t store your data.
If your label has a National Drug Code, which is a number separated by hyphens like NDC 0143-9579-25, try searching by NDC.
An NDC is a unique 10- or 11-digit identifier for medication that may appear on your label. It consists of three numerical parts and looks like: NDC 12345-6789-01.
A picture of a drug bottle with National Drug Code 68462-105-30 above the name. A picture of a drug bottle with National Drug Code 42385-953-30. A picture of a drug label with National Drug Code 69097-142-60 in the top left corner.
This is not the pharmacy but the company that packaged the drug to send to the pharmacy. You can find it if there is a logo on the front or after words like MFR, MFG, Distributed by or Manufactured for (not “Manufactured by”). The first word or two should be enough. Examples:
A picture of a medicine tube with the logo for Teva in the corner. A picture of a drug bottle with two pieces of text, manufactured in Croatia By: Pliva and Manufactured for: Teva Pharmaceuticals. The Manufactured for text is highlighted. A picture of a drug bottle with two pieces of text, manufactured in Croatia By: Pliva and Manufactured for: Teva Pharmaceuticals.
