Why two NDCs? The FDA registers this code as 51662-1378-1 — a 5-4-1 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 package segment → 51662-1378-01. Same drug, same package — only the format differs.

🧪 Inactive Ingredients / Excipients

Inactive ingredients, also called excipients, are components of the drug product other than the active ingredient. They may include fillers, dyes, coatings, preservatives, flavors, or other formulation ingredients.

A current SPL was checked, but it does not contain a structured or narrative inactive-ingredient list for this product. This does not mean the product has no inactive ingredients.
Where does this data come from?
Source: official FDA Structured Product Labeling (SPL) via DailyMed and the openFDA label index. Structured IACT rows and label-wide narrative are kept separate; availability and product-level specificity depend on the submitted label.

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 eachPer 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.

📊 Medicare Part D spend CMS · PART D · 2026 (Q1)

Medicare Part D (outpatient prescription) spending for Atropine Sulfate — the program that covers self-administered drugs. 7 manufacturers.
⚠️ Drug-level data: CMS publishes Part D spending by drug, not by NDC — these figures combine every manufacturer, strength and package size sold under the name Atropine Sulfate. That’s a different level of aggregation than the Medicaid card above, which is specific to this exact 11-digit NDC (pack size included), so the two aren’t directly comparable.

💵 About the dollar figures: spending is what Part D plans paid before confidential manufacturer rebates, so the program’s real net cost is lower. A blank patient count means fewer than 11 people — CMS hides counts that small to protect privacy. Source: CMS Medicare Quarterly Part D Spending by Drug (data.cms.gov), updated quarterly.

🧭 About this NDC listing & data coverage

Finished prescription product Marketed without an FDA application No longer marketed (per FDA listing data)

Listed without an FDA application

This product's marketing category indicates it is marketed without an approved FDA application (no NDA, ANDA, or BLA on file). Having an NDC does not by itself establish FDA approval — the NDC Directory is a listing system, not an approval decision. Approval-linked data such as Orange Book therapeutic-equivalence ratings therefore does not apply.

Questions about this listing

Is this NDC FDA-approved?
An NDC listing does not by itself establish FDA approval — the NDC Directory records that a product is listed with FDA, not that it was reviewed and approved. This listing's marketing category is "Unapproved Drug Other". Products approved under an application carry an NDA, ANDA, or BLA number.
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.
What does the discontinued status mean for this NDC?
The labeler reported a marketing end date (or the listing was delisted), so this specific package is no longer actively marketed. Remaining stock may still be dispensed for a time, and the NDC stays valid for historical records and claims — but data feeds (pricing, labeling) typically stop updating for it. Other package sizes or other manufacturers' versions of the same medication may still be marketed — see the equivalents section where available.
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 51662-1378-1, 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: 51662-1378-01, written without dashes as 51662137801. 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 51662-1378-01, the first segment (51662) is the labeler code FDA assigned to HF Acquisition Co LLC, DBA HealthFirst; the middle segment (1378) identifies this specific product — its ingredient, strength, and dosage form; and the last segment (01) identifies this exact package size and type. Together they name one specific package of one specific product.
Who lists this product with the FDA?
HF Acquisition Co LLC, DBA HealthFirst 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.
Where does this data come from?
Listing facts (marketing category, packager status, marketing dates) from the FDA openFDA NDC Directory; label availability from DailyMed; pricing coverage from CMS NADAC; equivalence scope from the FDA Orange Book.

🎯 Indications and Usage 146 words ▾

INDICATIONS & USAGE Atropine Sulfate Injection, USP, may be given parenterally as a pre-anesthetic medication in surgical patients to reduce salivation and bronchial secretions. It may also be used to suppress vagal activity associated with the use of halogenated hydrocarbons during inhalation anesthesia and reflex excitation arising from mechanical stimulation during surgery. The antispasmodic action of atropine is useful in pylorospasm and other spastic conditions of the gastrointestinal tract.

For ureteral and biliary colic, atropine concomitantly with morphine may be indicated. Atropine relaxes the upper GI tract and colon during hypotonic radiography. In poisoning by the organic phosphate cholinesterase inhibitors found in certain insecticides and by chemical warfare nerve gases, large doses of atropine relieve the muscarine-like symptoms and some of the central nervous system manifestations.

It is also used as an antidote for mushroom poisoning due to muscarine in certain species such as Amanita muscaria.

⏱️ Dosage and Administration ~2 min read ▾

DOSAGE & ADMINISTRATION Usual adult dosage: Antimuscarinic: Intramuscular, intravenous, or subcutaneous, 400 to 600 μg (0.4 to 0.6 mg) every four to six hours. Arrhythmias: Intravenous, 400 μg (0.4 mg) to 1 mg every one to two hours as needed, up to a maximum of 2 mg. Gastrointestinal radiography: Intramuscular, 1 mg.

Antidote (to muscarine in mushroom poisoning): Intramuscular or intravenous, 1 to 2 mg every hour until respiratory effects subside. Antidote (to organophosphate pesticides): Intramuscular or intravenous 1 to 2 mg, repeated in twenty to thirty minutes as soon as cyanosis has cleared. Continue dosage until definite improvement occurs and is maintained, sometimes for two days or more.

Usual pediatric dosage Antimuscarinic: Subcutaneous, 10 μg (0.01 mg) per kg of body weight, not to exceed 400 μg (0.4 mg), or 300 μg (0.3 mg) per square meter of body surface, every four to six hours. Arrhythmias: Intravenous, 10 to 30 μg (0.01 to 0.03 mg) per kg of body weight. Preanesthesia (antisialagogue): or Preanesthesia (antiarrhythmic): Subcutaneous– Children weighing up to 3 kg: 100 μg (0.1 mg).

Children weighing 7 to 9 kg: 200 μg (0.2 mg). Children weighing 12 to 16 kg: 300 μg (0.3 mg). Children weighing 20 to 27 kg: 400 μg (0.4 mg).

NOTE: Parenteral drug products should be inspected visually for particulate matter and discoloration prior to administration, whenever solution and container permit.

⛔ Contraindications 84 words ▾

CONTRAINDICATIONS Atropine Sulfate is contraindicated in patients with a history of hypersensitivity to this drug. Ocular: Narrow-angle glaucoma; adhesions (synechiae) between the iris and lens of the eye. Cardiovascular: Tachycardia; unstable cardiovascular status in acute hemorrhage.

GI: Obstructive disease (e.g., achalasia, pyloroduodenal stenosis, or pyloric obstruction, cardiospasm, etc.); paralytic ileus; intestinal atony of the elderly or debilitated patient; severe ulcerative colitis; toxic megacolon complicating ulcerative colitis; hepatic disease. GU: Obstructive uropathy (e.g., bladder neck obstruction due to prostatic hypertrophy); renal disease. Musculoskeletal: Myasthenia gravis.

⚠️ Warnings 95 words ▾

WARNINGS Heat prostration can occur with anticholinergic drug use (fever and heat stroke due to decreased sweating) in the presence of a high environmental temperature. Diarrhea may be an early symptom of incomplete intestinal obstruction, especially in patients with ileostomy or colostomy. Treatment of diarrhea with these drugs is inappropriate and possibly harmful.

Usage in the elderly: Elderly patients may react with excitement, agitation, drowsiness and other untoward manifestations to even small doses of anticholinergic drugs. Usage in gastric ulcer may produce a delay in gastric emptying time and may complicate such therapy (antral stasis).

🤒 Adverse Reactions 112 words ▾

ADVERSE REACTIONS GI: Xerostomia; altered taste perception; nausea; vomiting; dysphagia; heartburn, constipation; bloated feeling; paralytic ileus; gastroesophageal reflux. GU: Urinary hesitancy and retention; impotence. Ocular: Blurred vision; mydriasis; photophobia; cycloplegia; increased intraocular pressure.

Cardiovascular: Palpitations; bradycardia (following low doses of atropine); tachycardia (after higher doses). CNS: Headache; flushing; nervousness; drowsiness; weakness; dizziness; insomnia; fever. Elderly patients may exhibit mental confusion or excitement to even small doses.

Large doses may produce CNS stimulation (restlessness, tremor). Dermatologic - Hypersensitivity: Severe allergic reactions including anaphylaxis, urticaria and other dermal manifestations. Other: Suppression of lactation; nasal congestion; decreased sweating.

Complete anhidrosis cannot occur because large doses would be required, producing severe side effects from parasympathetic paralysis.

🆘 Overdosage 182 words ▾

OVERDOSAGE Symptoms: GI: Dry mouth; dysphagia; vomiting; nausea; abdominal distention. CNS: Theoretically, a curare-like action may occur, i.e., neuromuscular blockade leading to muscular weakness and paralysis. CNS stimulation; delirium; drowsiness; stupor; fever; dizziness; headache; restlessness; seizures; depression; tremor; hallucinations; ataxia; coma; psychotic behavior; other signs of an acute organic psychosis.

Cardiovascular: Circulatory failure; rapid pulse and respiration; tachycardia with weak pulse; hypertension; palpitations. GU: Urinary urgency with difficulty in micturition. Ocular: Blurred vision; photophobia; dilated pupils.

Miscellaneous: Leukocytosis, flushed hot dry skin, rash; respiratory failure. Treatment: Administer supportive and symptomatic therapy as indicated. Physostigmine 1 to 3 mg I.V. has been utilized to reverse anticholinergic effects.

However, profound bradycardia, asystole and seizures may occur. The role of physostigmine is not clear; its use should be avoided if other therapeutic agents are successful in reversing cardiac dysrhythmias. Neostigmine methylsulfate 0.5 to 2 mg I.V., repeated as needed, may be given.

Diazepam or short-acting barbiturates may control excitement. Hemodialysis is ineffective for atropine poisoning. Hyperpyrexia may be treated with physical cooling measures.

If photophobia occurs, the patient may be kept in a dark room.

🧬 Clinical Pharmacology 86 words ▾

CLINICAL PHARMACOLOGY Atropine inhibits the muscarinic actions of acetylcholine at postganglionic parasympathetic neuroeffector sites including smooth muscle, secretory glands and CNS sites. Large doses may block nicotinic receptors at the autonomic ganglia and at the neuromuscular junction. Specific anticholinergic responses are dose-related.

Small doses of atropine inhibit salivary and bronchial secretions and sweating; moderate doses dilate the pupil, inhibit accommodation and increase the heart rate (vagolytic effect); larger doses will decrease motility of the GI and urinary tracts; very large doses will inhibit gastric acid secretion.

📋 Description 124 words ▾

DESCRIPTION Atropine is chemically 1 α H, 5 α H - Tropan-3 α-ol (±) -tropate (ester), with the following structural formula: Atropine rarely occurs as such in any of the plants and has been prepared by synthesis. It is usually employed in the form of atropine sulfate (the sulfate [2:1] monohydrate salt of atropine), which has much greater solubility in water. Atropine Sulfate Injection, USP, is a sterile aqueous solution of atropine sulfate.

Each mL contains atropine sulfate, 0.1 mg; sodium chloride, 8.8 mg, for isotonicity; citric acid, 0.63 mg, and sodium citrate, 0.29 mg, as buffers. May contain additional citric acid and/or sodium citrate for pH adjustment (3.0-6.5). The air above the liquid in the container has been displaced by nitrogen gas.
