Why two NDCs? The FDA registers this code as 14537-832-03 — a 5-3-2 layout, and that's what's printed on the package and shown on DailyMed. For insurance claims, every NDC is standardized to a uniform 11-digit 5-4-2 format by adding a zero to the product segment → 14537-0832-03. Same drug, same package — only the format differs.

Where does this data come from?
Data sourced from official FDA Structured Product Labeling (SPL) via DailyMedingredient classCode="IACT" elements from the exact product block matched by this NDC. Label-section narrative from DailyMed / the openFDA label index is shown separately when available.

Inactive ingredient FAQ

Are inactive ingredients the same for every manufacturer?
No. Inactive ingredients can differ by manufacturer, dosage form, strength, and package / product version.
Why might an inactive ingredient be missing?
Some SPLs do not provide a complete structured inactive-ingredient list, and older or unusual labels may only include the information in narrative text.
Can inactive ingredients matter?
Yes. They can matter for allergies, intolerances, dyes, gluten / lactose concerns, preservatives, and formulation differences — but confirm with a pharmacist or the manufacturer when it’s clinically important.

💲 Pricing

A drug doesn't have one price. Each row is a different public payment system, and none is what you'd pay at the counter — that depends on your insurance. The ⓘ on each row explains what it measures.

Price systemPer mLPer package
Retail pharmacies payNADAC · weekly Not in the retail survey — common for institutional, discontinued, or low-volume packs.
Medicaid paysCMS SDUD · 12 mo No recent Medicaid claims on file for this NDC — rare and low-volume NDCs are suppressed in the public data.
Medicare drug plans payPart D · quarterly No Part D plan price is available for this NDC in our data.
ℹ️
No price is published for this exact package yet. CMS surveys NADAC per package size, so a different pack of the same drug often has one.
Where does this data come from?
NADAC (National Average Drug Acquisition Cost) is the CMS weekly pharmacy-acquisition-cost survey — what pharmacies pay. ASP (Average Sales Price) is the CMS Medicare Part B drug-payment file, published quarterly. Medicaid pays is computed by us from CMS State Drug Utilization Data (total reimbursed ÷ units, trailing 12 months) — gross of rebates and inclusive of dispensing fees, so it reflects what Medicaid paid, not an acquisition cost. Medicare drug plans pay is the median negotiated point-of-sale unit cost across plans listing this NDC in the CMS quarterly Prescription Drug Plan pricing files, before rebates. The VA pays is the federal contract price (FSS, and the statutory Big 4 ceiling where listed) from the VA National Acquisition Center pharmaceutical price file. All are free public government data; each measures a different payer, so the figures are not directly comparable.

Questions about this listing

Why is there no price listed?
The pricing shown on our NDC pages comes from CMS NADAC, a voluntary survey of retail community pharmacy invoices. CMS does not publish a NADAC for every NDC — packages outside the retail survey (institutional and hospital products, bulk packages, discontinued items, and many OTC items) may never receive one. A missing price reflects the survey's scope, not this product's actual cost, and does not mean the product is free or unavailable.
Is the NDC printed on the package the same as the 11-digit billing NDC?
Yes, they identify this exact package in different formats. The FDA registers it as 14537-832-03, which is what is printed on the packaging and shown on DailyMed. Insurance claims use a fixed 11-digit 5-4-2 format, so the short segment is padded with a leading zero: 14537-0832-03, written without dashes as 14537083203. The Identity section at the top of this page lists every form of this code.
What do the three segments of this NDC mean?
In 14537-0832-03, the first segment (14537) is the labeler code FDA assigned to Terumo BCT, Ltd; the middle segment (0832) identifies this specific product — its ingredient, strength, and dosage form; and the last segment (03) identifies this exact package size and type. Together they name one specific package of one specific product.
Is this package still being marketed?
Yes, per the latest FDA NDC Directory data on this page: this package is listed as actively marketed, with no marketing end date reported by Terumo BCT, Ltd. Listing status can change — the directory data on this page refreshes weekly.
Who lists this product with the FDA?
Terumo BCT, Ltd is the labeler of record for this NDC — the company under whose FDA-assigned code the package is listed. The labeler may be the manufacturer itself or a distributor marketing the product under its own code.
Do I need a prescription for this product?
This NDC is listed with FDA as a prescription product, so it is dispensed under a prescriber's order. Your pharmacist can tell you whether any over-the-counter forms of the same medication exist.
This page identifies an FDA-listed package (the NDC) and reports public regulatory and pricing data about the listing. It is reference information, not a medical recommendation — talk to your pharmacist or prescriber about your own medication.

🤒 Adverse Reactions 147 words

6 ADVERSE REACTIONS Citrate reactions or toxicity may occur with the infusion of blood products to patients. The recipient of the blood containing citrate should be monitored for the signs and symptoms of citrate toxicity. The signs and symptoms of citrate toxicity begin with paresthesia, a "tingling" sensation around the mouth or in the extremities, followed by severe reactions that are characterized by hypotension and possible cardiac arrhythmia.

Citrate toxicity may occur more frequently in patients who are hypothermic, have impaired liver or renal function, or have low calcium levels because of an underlying disease. Citrate reactions or toxicity may occur with the infusion of blood containing citrate. The recipient of the blood containing citrate should be monitored for the signs and symptoms of citrate toxicity.

📋 Description ~2 min read

11 DESCRIPTION ADDITIVE SOLUTION FORMULA 3 (AS-3) is designed to be added to packed RBC collected in apheresis procedures, and acts to preserve and extend the shelf life of packed RBC products for later transfusion to patients. The solution is intended to be metered by an apheresis device during apheresis procedures or added manually after a collection. Additive Solution Formula 3 (AS-3) is a clear solution that is steam-sterilized and non-pyrogenic.

It does not contain bacteriostatic or antimicrobial agents. The formulas of the active ingredients are provided in Table 1. Table 1: Active Ingredients Ingredients Molecular Formula Molecular Weight Dextrose Monohydrate USP C 6 H 12 O 6 ∙ H 2 O 198.17 Trisodium Citrate Dihydrate USP C 6 H 9 Na 3 O 9 294.10 Sodium Chloride USP NaCl

18.00Each 100 mL of ADDITIVE SOLUTION FORMULA 3 (AS-3) contains: Dextrose Monohydrate USP 1.10 g; Trisodium Citrate Dihydrate USP 0.59 g; Sodium Chloride USP 0.41 g; Monobasic Sodium Phosphate Monohydrate USP 0.28 g; Citric Acid Monohydrate USP 0.042 g; Adenine USP 0.03 g; and Water for Injection USP. ADDITIVE SOLUTION FORMULA 3 is available in three volumes: 100 mL, 200 mL and 350 mL. The 100 mL bags are individually wrapped with a clear plastic film.

Six individually wrapped bags are then vacuum-sealed in a foil pouch, which serves as a vapor barrier to prevent water loss during storage. After you remove the individual solution bags from the foil pouch, you can either leave them in the clear plastic film or remove and discard it. Once the foil pouch has been opened, use all six of the solution bags within 2 weeks.

The 200 mL and 350 mL bags are individually wrapped with a clear plastic film. These larger volumes do not require the additional vapor barrier. Once the clear plastic film has been removed, use the solution within 2 weeks.

The Polyolefin bag is not made with natural rubber latex. The bag is made from a multilayered film. It contains materials that have been tested to demonstrate the suitability of the container for storing pharmaceutical solutions.

The bag is nontoxic and biologically inert. The bag-solution unit is a closed system and is not dependent upon entry of external air during administration.
