Generic drugs · Factories · FDA inspections
The name on your bottle isn't always who made it.
Most U.S. prescriptions are generics, often made overseas and sold under another company's name. Look up who actually makes yours, the factory it comes from, and what FDA inspectors found there.

How to trace your medicine
Find the NDC
It's the 10- or 11-digit number on the pharmacy label or the stock bottle, like 43598-098-05. The first two parts name the company and the product.
See who's behind it
We match it to the drug's official FDA label, which often names the factory that makes it, and follow repackaged pills back to the original maker.
Check the factory
Every plant links to its FDA inspection history: dates, results, and the problems inspectors wrote down.
