NCPDP Comment
NCPDP requests ONC add the National Drug Code (NDC). The NDC distinctly identifies the product and is critical for capturing specific drug allergies, including active and inactive ingredients (e.g., dyes, flavorings) as well as reporting of adverse drug events to the FDA. RxNorm does not identify the specific packaged product that was dispensed and would not be as useful in these situations.
