Why two NDCs? The FDA registers this code as 70000-0234-1 — 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 → 70000-0234-01. Same drug, same package — only the format differs.

🩺 Clinical

Label name ANTACID EX-STR TABLET CHEW Ingredient Magnesium Carb/Aluminum Hydrox
🧪 What is this product?

This is an over-the-counter antacid tablet that you chew by mouth. It contains aluminum hydroxide and magnesium carbonate, which are both bases that work to neutralize stomach acid. These ingredients are commonly combined in antacid products because they help reduce acid-related discomfort and are often used together to balance each other's effects on digestion. This product is marketed under the FDA's OTC monograph rules for antacids.

🧪 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.

💡 Tap an ingredient (hover on desktop) to see what it is and why it’s used.

  • UNII 8C3Z4148WZ
    Alginic acid is a natural polymer extracted from brown seaweed. In medicines, it acts as a thickener, binder, and disintegrant to help form tablets and control how quickly the medicine dissolves.
  • UNII 776XM7047L
    Calcium stearate is a white powder derived from stearic acid and calcium. It works as a lubricant and glidant to help the medicine flow smoothly during manufacturing and prevent ingredients from sticking to equipment.
  • UNII 9G5L16BK6N
    A thick, sweet liquid made from corn starch. It acts as a sweetener, thickener, and binder in medicines, helping create the right texture and taste while holding ingredients together.
  • UNII 8MDF5V39QO
    A white powder form of baking soda that acts as a buffer and pH regulator in medicines. It helps maintain the right acid-base balance and may aid tablet disintegration.
  • UNII O8232NY3SJ
    A plant-based carbohydrate derived from corn kernels. It acts as a filler to add bulk, a binder to hold ingredients together, and a disintegrant to help the tablet break apart in your stomach for absorption.
  • UNII C151H8M554
    A natural sugar derived from sugar cane or sugar beets. It's used as a sweetener, filler, and binder to improve taste, add bulk, and help hold tablet or capsule ingredients together.

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.

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.

🗺️ Medicaid utilization & spend

📍 This exact package only: Medicaid data is reported per full 11-digit NDC — labeler, product and pack size — so every number here is for 70000-0234-01, not the drug overall. Other pack sizes report separately.
💊 Pharmacy benefit only: These are Medicaid outpatient pharmacy claims, billed by NDC. They exclude the medical benefit — clinic- or hospital-administered drugs billed under HCPCS J-codes — so drugs used mostly that way (e.g. Avastin, Lucentis, Keytruda) can look low or missing here. That’s expected, not an error.
📅 Q1 2025 – Q4 2025 · 4 quarters of data

💵 About the dollar figures: “reimbursed” is what Medicaid paid pharmacies before confidential manufacturer rebates, so the program’s real net cost is lower than these numbers.
