Check the NDC number (National Drug Code) on your Zofran 4mg packaging against the manufacturer’s official database. This database, usually found on the manufacturer’s website, provides a verified list of NDC numbers for their products. Discrepancies indicate a potential counterfeit.
Matching the NDC with Packaging
Carefully compare the NDC number on your Zofran 4mg packaging with the information found in the manufacturer’s database. Pay close attention to every digit; even a single number difference means the medication is not authentic. The NDC is usually a 10- or 11-digit number, structured in three segments separated by hyphens. Each segment contains specific information about the manufacturer, drug, and package size.
Reporting Suspected Counterfeits
If you find a discrepancy, report the suspected counterfeit medication to the FDA (Food and Drug Administration) immediately. They have resources and procedures for handling such reports. Contact your pharmacist as well; they can assist you in verifying authenticity and advise on safe disposal of counterfeit medication.
