📖 What it is MedlinePlus · NLM

Rimegepant is used to prevent and treat migraine headaches (severe, throbbing headaches that sometimes are accompanied by nausea and sensitivity to sound or light). Rimegepant is in a class of medications called calcitonin gene-related peptide receptor antagonists. It works by blocking the action of a certain natural substance in the body that causes migraine headaches.

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.

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.

🛡️ Latest patent/protection date listed: FDA patent/protection data lists protections through Mar 2039. This may affect when a full generic version becomes widely available, but it is not a guaranteed launch date.

Why the date isn’t exact: Generic timing can change because patents may be challenged, settled, licensed, added, removed, or worked around with a narrower label — and FDA approval does not always mean a pharmacy can get the generic today.

LOE
Substance patent Formulation patent Method-of-use patent Exclusivity Pediatric +6mo
🏛️FDA exclusivity
FDA-granted marketing protection. It’s separate from patents and may be shorter than patent protection.
🧪Product / substance patents
Patents covering the active ingredient, product, formulation, or related drug features.
🎯Method-of-use patents
Patents covering specific approved uses. These can sometimes be carved out with a “skinny label,” but not always.
🛈 What do these terms mean?
Patent
Legal protection listed in the Orange Book that may delay generic approval or launch. Issued by the U.S. Patent & Trademark Office.
Substance patent
Covers the active drug molecule itself — the hardest to design around. A generic generally can’t launch until it expires.
Formulation (product) patent
Covers a specific formulation or dosage form. A generic can sometimes work around it with a different formulation.
Method-of-use patent
A patent covering one specific approved use of the drug — not necessarily the whole molecule. A generic can sometimes launch with a “skinny label” that carves out the protected use and keeps the others.
Skinny label
A generic label that omits a still-patented use when the FDA allows it — letting a generic reach the market for the unprotected uses.
Exclusivity
FDA-granted marketing protection, separate from patents — e.g. 5-yr new chemical entity, 7-yr orphan drug, or a +6-month pediatric extension.
Paragraph IV
A generic applicant’s formal challenge to a listed patent. It can potentially lead to earlier generic entry, but often involves litigation or a settlement.
RLD / RS
Reference Listed Drug — the brand product the FDA uses as the reference for generic applications. Reference Standard — the product the FDA expects generics to compare against in bioequivalence testing.
TE / AB rating
FDA therapeutic-equivalence rating. An AB rating generally means the FDA considers a generic therapeutically equivalent to — and substitutable for — the brand.
LOE (loss of exclusivity)
The latest patent or exclusivity currently listed — the loss-of-exclusivity / latest-listed-protection date shown on this page. Paragraph-IV challenges and settlements can move the real date earlier; FDA approval and a manufacturer’s decision to market can move it later.

Built from the FDA Orange Book. The bars above are scaled to each protection’s expiry; the red LOE marker is the last one to lapse.

Common questions
Is there a generic version of NURTEC ODT 75 MG TABLET?
No FDA-approved generic equivalent is currently listed in the FDA Orange Book for NURTEC ODT 75 MG TABLET. Based on the patents and exclusivity currently listed, the Orange Book estimate is that full-label generic entry may be delayed until Mar 2039 — an estimate, not a guaranteed launch date.
The FDA approved a generic — why can’t I get it at my pharmacy yet?
FDA approval and pharmacy availability are two different things. The FDA can approve a generic years before it actually reaches pharmacies, because the brand company may still hold patents or have a settlement that delays the launch. A manufacturer also has to choose to make and sell it, and have supply ready. So a drug can be “FDA-approved generic exists” and still be brand-only at the counter today.
Why do different websites show different generic release dates?
Generic availability is not based on one single date. Some sources use the first exclusivity expiration, some use the last product patent, and others use the latest method-of-use patent. Patent challenges, settlements, licenses, and label carve-outs can also change the real-world launch date. This page shows the underlying Orange Book dates so you can see why estimates may differ.
What does “FDA listed” mean?
It means the product appears in the FDA’s official NDC directory. That’s a good sign a product exists and is intended for the U.S. market, but on its own it does not confirm a pharmacy can fill it today. Where we have recent retail pricing data (NADAC) for a product, we label it “Availability likely” instead.
What does a patent or protection date mean here?
It’s the latest date currently listed in the FDA Orange Book for a patent or exclusivity on the brand product. It can affect when a full generic version becomes widely available — but it is not a guaranteed generic launch date. Generics sometimes arrive earlier (through a settlement or patent challenge) or later (a manufacturer still has to make and sell one).
What does “current Orange Book estimate” mean?
It means we are using the latest patent and exclusivity dates currently listed in the FDA Orange Book. It is not a guaranteed launch date.
Can a generic come out before the last patent expires?
Sometimes. A generic company may challenge a patent, settle with the brand manufacturer, receive a license, or obtain approval with a narrower label that avoids a patented use. In other cases, the last listed protection may delay full-label generic competition.
Can a generic come out after the listed dates?
Yes. Even after patents or exclusivity expire, a generic still needs FDA approval and a manufacturer must choose to market it. Supply, litigation, business decisions, or regulatory issues can delay actual availability.
What is the difference between patents and exclusivity?
Patents are legal protections usually issued by the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office. FDA exclusivity is marketing protection granted by the FDA. They are separate, and either one can affect generic timing.
Why are there multiple patent dates?
One drug can have several patents covering different things: the active ingredient, a formulation, a manufacturing process, or a specific approved use. That is why a page may show several expiration dates instead of one simple generic date.
Built from FDA Orange Book patent and exclusivity data. Dates are refreshed from public FDA data when available; the marker is max(latest patent expiry, latest exclusivity expiry). Paragraph-IV settlements and first-filer 180-day exclusivity can shift the real date; a method-of-use patent may allow an earlier skinny-label generic for non-protected indications. Generic launch timing is an estimate, not a guarantee.
Where does this data come from?
Patents and exclusivity from the FDA Orange Book (small-molecule drugs), refreshed from public FDA data. Generic launch timing is an estimate, not a guarantee.

⛔ Contraindications 58 words ▾

4 CONTRAINDICATIONS NURTEC ODT is contraindicated in patients with a history of hypersensitivity reaction to rimegepant, NURTEC ODT, or any of its components. Reactions have included anaphylaxis and delayed serious hypersensitivity [see Warnings and Precautions (5.1) ] . Patients with a history of hypersensitivity reaction to rimegepant, NURTEC ODT, or to any of its components. ( 4 )

⚠️ Warnings and Cautions ~2 min read ▾

5 WARNINGS AND PRECAUTIONS • Hypersensitivity Reactions: If a serious hypersensitivity reaction occurs, discontinue NURTEC ODT and initiate appropriate therapy. Severe hypersensitivity reactions have included anaphylaxis, dyspnea, and rash, and can occur days after administration. ( 5.1 ) • Hypertension: New-onset or worsening of pre-existing hypertension may occur.

( 5.2 ) • Raynaud’s Phenomenon: New-onset or worsening of pre-existing Raynaud’s phenomenon may occur. ( 5.3 )

5.1Hypersensitivity Reactions Serious hypersensitivity reactions, including anaphylaxis, dyspnea , and rash, have occurred in patients treated with NURTEC ODT . Hypersensitivity reactions can occur days after administration, and delayed serious hypersensitivity has occurred. If a hypersensitivity reaction occurs, discontinue NURTEC ODT and initiate appropriate therapy [see Contraindications (4) and Adverse Reactions (6.1 , 6.2) ] .

5.2Hypertension Development of hypertension and worsening of pre-existing hypertension have been reported following the use of CGRP antagonists, including NURTEC ODT, in the postmarketing setting. Some of the patients who developed new-onset hypertension had risk factors for hypertension. There were cases requiring initiation of pharmacological treatment for hypertension and, in some cases, hospitalization.

Hypertension may occur at any time during treatment, but was most frequently reported within 7 days of therapy initiation. NURTEC ODT was discontinued in many of the reported cases. Monitor patients treated with NURTEC ODT for new-onset hypertension or worsening of pre-existing hypertension, and consider whether discontinuation of NURTEC ODT is warranted if evaluation fails to establish an alternative etiology or blood pressure is inadequately controlled.

5.3Raynaud’s Phenomenon Development of Raynaud’s phenomenon and recurrence or worsening of pre-existing Raynaud’s phenomenon have been reported in the postmarketing setting following the use of CGRP antagonists, including NURTEC ODT. In reported cases with small molecule CGRP antagonists, symptom onset occurred a median of 1.5 days following dosing. Many of the cases reported serious outcomes, including hospitalizations and disability, generally related to debilitating pain.

In most reported cases, discontinuation of the CGRP antagonist resulted in resolution of symptoms. NURTEC ODT should be discontinued if signs or symptoms of Raynaud’s phenomenon develop, and patients should be evaluated by a healthcare provider if symptoms do not resolve. Patients with a history of Raynaud’s phenomenon should be monitored for, and informed about the possibility of, worsening or recurrence of signs and symptoms.

🤒 Adverse Reactions ~3 min read ▾

6 ADVERSE REACTIONS The following clinically significant adverse reactions are discussed in greater detail in other sections of the labeling: • Hypersensitivity Reactions [see Warnings and Precautions (5.1) ] • Hypertension [see Warnings and Precautions (5.2) ] • Raynaud’s Phenomenon [see Warnings and Precautions (5.3) ] • Acute treatment of migraine: the adverse reaction reported in ≥1% of patients treated with NURTEC ODT is nausea. ( 6.1 ) • Preventive treatment of episodic migraine: adverse reactions reported in ≥2% for rimegepant and ≥1% higher than placebo are nausea and abdominal pain/dyspepsia.

6.1Clinical Trials Experience Because clinical trials are conducted under widely varying conditions, adverse reaction rates observed in the clinical trials of a drug cannot be directly compared to rates in the clinical trials of another drug and may not reflect the rates observed in clinical practice. Acute Treatment of Migraine The safety of NURTEC ODT for the acute treatment of migraine in adults has been evaluated in a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled trial (Study 1) in 682 patients with migraine who received one 75 mg dose of NURTEC ODT [see Clinical Studies (14) ] .

Approximately 85% were female, 74% were White, 21% were Black, and 17% were Hispanic or Latino. The mean age at study entry was 40 years (range 18-75 years of age). Long-term safety was assessed in an open-label extension study using a different oral dosage form of rimegepant.

That study evaluated 1,798 patients, dosing intermittently for up to one year, including 1,131 patients who were exposed to rimegepant 75 mg for at least 6 months, and 863 who were exposed for at least one year, all of whom treated an average of at least two migraine attacks per month. The most common adverse reaction in Study 1 was nausea (2% in patients who received NURTEC ODT compared to 0.4% of patients who received placebo). Hypersensitivity, including dyspnea and severe rash, occurred in less than 1% of patients treated with NURTEC ODT [see Contraindications (4) and Warnings and Precautions (5.1) ] .

Preventive Treatment of Episodic Migraine The safety of NURTEC ODT for the preventive treatment of episodic migraine in adults has been established in a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled trial with an open-label extension (Study 2) using a different oral dosage form of rimegepant [see Clinical Studies (14) ] . In the 12-week, double-blind treatment period, 370 patients with migraine received one 75 mg dose of rimegepant every other day . Approximately 81% were female, 80% were White, 17% were Black, and 28% were Hispanic or Latino.

The mean age at study entry was 41 years (range 18-74 years of age). Long-term safety was assessed in an open-label extension study that included 603 patients who were treated for up to one year. Overall, 527 patients were exposed to rimegepant 75 mg for at least 6 months, and 311 were exposed for at least one year.

The most common adverse reactions (occurring in at least 2% of rimegepant-treated patients and at a frequency of at least 1% higher than placebo) in Study 2 were nausea (2.7% in patients who received rimegepant compared with 0.8% of patients who received placebo) and abdominal pain/dyspepsia (2.4% in patients who received rimegepant compared with 0.8% of patients who received placebo).

6.2Postmarketing Experience The following adverse reactions have been identified during postapproval use of NURTEC ODT. Because these reactions are reported voluntarily from a population of uncertain size, it is not always possible to reliably estimate their frequency or establish a causal relationship to drug exposure.

8 USE IN SPECIFIC POPULATIONS • Exposures were significantly higher in subjects with severe hepatic impairment. Avoid use in patients with severe hepatic impairment (Child-Pugh C). ( 8.6 )

8.1Pregnancy Pregnancy Exposure Registry There is a pregnancy exposure registry that monitors pregnancy outcomes in women exposed to NURTEC ODT during pregnancy. For more information, healthcare providers or patients are encouraged to contact: 1-877-366-0324, email [email protected], or visit nurtecpregnancyregistry.com . Risk Summary There are no adequate data on the developmental risk associated with the use of NURTEC ODT in pregnant women.

In animal studies, oral administration of rimegepant during organogenesis resulted in adverse effects on development in rats (decreased fetal body weight and increased incidence of skeletal variations) at exposures greater than those used clinically and which were associated with maternal toxicity (see Data ) . In the U.S. general population, the estimated background risk of major birth defects and miscarriage in clinically recognized pregnancies is 2 to 4% and 15 to 20%, respectively. The estimated rate of major birth defects (2.2 to 2.9%) and miscarriage (17%) among deliveries to women with migraine are similar to rates reported in women without migraine.

Clinical Considerations Disease-Associated Maternal and/or Embryo/Fetal Risk Published data have suggested that women with migraine may be at increased risk of preeclampsia and gestational hypertension during pregnancy. Data Animal Data Oral administration of rimegepant (0, 10, 60, or 300 mg/kg/day) to pregnant rats during the period of organogenesis resulted in decreased fetal body weight and an increased incidence of fetal skeletal variations at the highest dose tested (300 mg/kg/day), which was associated with maternal toxicity.

Plasma exposures (AUC) at the no-effect dose (60 mg/kg/day) for adverse effects on embryofetal development were approximately 45 times that in humans at the maximum recommended human dose (MRHD) of 75 mg/day. Oral administration of rimegepant (0, 10, 25, or 50 mg/kg/day) to pregnant rabbits during the period of organogenesis resulted in no adverse effects on embryofetal development. The highest dose tested (50 mg/kg/day) was associated with plasma exposures (AUC) approximately 10 times that in humans at the MRHD.

Oral administration of rimegepant (0, 10, 25, or 60 mg/kg/day) to rats throughout gestation and lactation resulted in no effects on pre- or postnatal development. The highest dose tested (60 mg/kg/day) was associated with plasma exposures (AUC) approximately 24 times that in humans at the MRHD.

8.2Lactation Risk Summary A lactation study was conducted, and the results have established a relative infant dose of less than 1% of the maternal weight-adjusted dose and the milk-to-plasma ratio of 0.20 (see Data ) . These data support that transfer of rimegepant into breastmilk is low. There are no data on the effects of rimegepant on a breastfed infant or on milk production.

The developmental and health benefits of breastfeeding should be considered along with the mother's clinical need for NURTEC ODT and any potential adverse effects on the breastfed infant from NURTEC ODT or from the underlying maternal condition. Data A study was conducted in twelve healthy adult lactating women who were between 2 weeks and 6 months postpartum and were administered a single oral dose of rimegepant 75 mg. The relative infant dose was <1%.

The average milk to plasma ratio was 0.20.

8.4Pediatric Use Safety and effectiveness in pediatric patients have not been established.

8.5Geriatric Use In pharmacokinetic studies, no clinically significant pharmacokinetic differences were observed between elderly and younger subjects.

12 CLINICAL PHARMACOLOGY

12.1Mechanism of Action Rimegepant is a calcitonin gene-related peptide receptor antagonist.

12.2Pharmacodynamics The relationship between pharmacodynamic activity and the mechanism(s) by which rimegepant exerts its clinical effects is unknown. No clinically relevant differences in resting blood pressure were observed when rimegepant was concomitantly administered with sumatriptan (12 mg subcutaneous, given as two 6 mg doses separated by one hour) compared with sumatriptan alone to healthy volunteers. Cardiac Electrophysiology At a single dose 4 times the recommended dose, rimegepant does not prolong the QT interval to any clinically relevant extent.

12.3Pharmacokinetics Absorption Following oral administration of NURTEC ODT, rimegepant is absorbed with the maximum concentration at 1.5 hours. The absolute oral bioavailability of rimegepant is approximately 64%. Effects of Food Following administration of NURTEC ODT under fed conditions with a high-fat or low-fat meal, T max was delayed by approximately 1 to 1.5 hours.

A high-fat meal reduced C max by 41 to 53% and AUC by 32 to 38%. A low-fat meal reduced C max by 36% and AUC by 28%. NURTEC ODT was administered without regard to food in clinical safety and efficacy studies [see Dosage and Administration (2.1 , 2.2 )] .

The impact of the reduction in rimegepant exposure because of administration with food on its efficacy is unknown. Distribution The steady state volume of distribution of rimegepant is 120 L. Plasma protein binding of rimegepant is approximately 96%.

Elimination Metabolism Rimegepant is primarily metabolized by CYP3A4 and to a lesser extent by CYP2C9. Rimegepant is the primary form (~77%) with no major metabolites (i.e., >10%) detected in plasma. Excretion The elimination half-life of rimegepant is approximately 11 hours in healthy subjects.

Following oral administration of [ 14 C]-rimegepant to healthy male subjects, 78% of the total radioactivity was recovered in feces and 24% in urine. Unchanged rimegepant is the major single component in excreted feces (42%) and urine (51%). Specific Populations Renal Impairment In a dedicated clinical study comparing the pharmacokinetics of rimegepant in subjects with mild (estimated creatinine clearance [CLcr] 60-89 mL/min), moderate (CLcr 30-59 mL/min), and severe (CLcr 15-29 mL/min) renal impairment to that with normal subjects (healthy matched control), the exposure of rimegepant following single 75 mg dose was approximately 40% higher in subjects with moderate renal impairment.

However, there was no clinically meaningful difference in the exposure of rimegepant in subjects with severe renal impairment compared to subjects with normal renal function (CLcr ≥90 mL/min). NURTEC ODT has not been studied in patients with end-stage renal disease (CLcr <15 mL/min) [see Use in Specific Populations (8.7) ]. Hepatic Impairment In a dedicated clinical study comparing the pharmacokinetics of rimegepant in subjects with mild, moderate, and severe hepatic impairment to that with normal subjects (healthy matched control), the exposure of rimegepant (C max and AUC) following single 75 mg dose was approximately 2-fold higher in subjects with severe impairment (Child-Pugh class C).

14 CLINICAL STUDIES

14.1Acute Treatment of Migraine The efficacy of NURTEC ODT for the acute treatment of migraine with and without aura in adults was demonstrated in a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled trial: Study 1 (NCT03461757). Patients in the study were randomized to receive 75 mg of NURTEC ODT (N=732) or placebo (N=734). Patients were instructed to treat a migraine of moderate to severe headache pain intensity.

Rescue medication (i.e., NSAIDs, acetaminophen, and/or an antiemetic) was allowed 2 hours after the initial treatment. Other forms of rescue medication such as triptans were not allowed within 48 hours of initial treatment. Approximately 14% of patients were taking preventive medications for migraine at baseline.

None of the patients in Study 1 were on concomitant preventive medication that act on the CGRP pathway. The primary efficacy analyses were conducted in patients who treated a migraine with moderate to severe pain. NURTEC ODT 75 mg demonstrated an effect on pain freedom and most bothersome symptom (MBS) freedom at two hours after dosing, compared to placebo.

Pain freedom was defined as a reduction of moderate or severe headache pain to no headache pain, and MBS freedom was defined as the absence of the self-identified MBS (i.e., photophobia, phonophobia, or nausea). Among patients who selected an MBS, the most commonly selected symptom was photophobia (54%), followed by nausea (28%), and phonophobia (15%). In Study 1, the percentage of patients achieving headache pain freedom and MBS freedom two hours after a single dose was statistically significantly greater in patients who received NURTEC ODT compared to those who received placebo (Table 1).

Pain relief was defined as a reduction in migraine pain from moderate or severe severity to mild or none. The measurement of the percentage of patients reporting normal function at two hours after dosing was derived from a single item questionnaire, asking patients to select one response on a 4-point scale; normal function, mild impairment, severe impairment, or required bedrest.

13.1Carcinogenesis, Mutagenesis, Impairment of Fertility Carcinogenesis Oral administration of rimegepant to Tg.rasH2 mice (0, 10, 100, or 300 mg/kg/day) for 26 weeks and to rats (0, 5, 20, or 45 mg/kg/day) for 91-100 weeks resulted in no evidence of drug-induced tumors in either species. In rats, the plasma exposure (AUC) at the highest dose tested (45 mg/kg/day) was approximately 30 times that at the maximum recommended human dose (MRHD) of 75 mg/day. Mutagenesis Rimegepant was negative in in vitro (bacterial reverse-mutation, chromosomal aberration in Chinese hamster ovary cells) and in vivo (rat micronucleus) assays.

Impairment of Fertility Oral administration of rimegepant (0, 30, 60, or 150 mg/kg/day) to male and female rats prior to and during mating and continuing in females to gestation day (GD) 7 resulted in reduced fertility at the highest dose tested. In a second fertility study testing lower doses (0, 5, 15, or 25 mg/kg/day), no adverse effects on fertility, uterine histopathology, or early embryonic development were observed. The no-effect dose for impairment of fertility and early embryonic development in rats (60 mg/kg/day) was associated with plasma drug exposures (AUC) approximately 30 times that in humans at the MRHD.

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

Medicare Part D (outpatient prescription) spending for Nurtec ODT — the program that covers self-administered drugs. 1 manufacturer.
⚠️ 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 Nurtec ODT. 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.

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 form printed on the packaging and shown on DailyMed is the one the FDA registered. Insurance claims use a fixed 11-digit 5-4-2 format, so the short segment is padded with a leading zero and the dashes are dropped. The Identity section at the top of this page lists each form of this code.
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 Pfizer Laboratories Div Pfizer Inc. Listing status can change — the directory data on this page refreshes weekly.
Does this product come in other package sizes?
Yes — the FDA directory lists 1 other package presentation of this same product, including 2 tablets (72618-3001-04). Each has its own NDC and its own page — see the package list near the top of this page.
Who lists this product with the FDA?
Pfizer Laboratories Div Pfizer Inc 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.
For educational and professional reference only — not medical advice. Pricing reflects published NADAC and CMS ASP (free public data) and may differ from your acquisition cost; always verify before billing or dispensing.
