How to Look Up NADAC Prices by NDC Code

By Dylan Sanson, Pharmacist & Pharmacy Manager · Published March 18, 2026

While searching by drug name is convenient, looking up NADAC prices by NDC (National Drug Code) gives you exact product-level pricing — critical when comparing different manufacturers, package sizes, or formulations of the same drug.

What Is an NDC Code?

An NDC is a unique 10- or 11-digit code assigned to each drug product. It identifies the manufacturer (labeler), product formulation, and package size. Format: XXXXX-XXXX-XX.

How to Search NADAC by NDC

1. Go to NADAC Lookup
2. Enter the full NDC code (e.g., "00093-7212-01") in the search bar
3. View the NADAC per-unit price, effective date, and dosage form
4. Use the comparison feature to compare multiple NDCs side by side

When to Use NDC vs Drug Name Search

• Use NDC when you need pricing for a specific manufacturer's product
• Use drug name when comparing across all manufacturers of a medication
• Pro tip: Search by drug name first, then use the comparison tool to evaluate NDCs side by side
