What is “Ozempic 8 mg / 3 mL” and the NDC 00169?
“NDC 00169” appears to refer to the National Drug Code (NDC) for an Ozempic product in the NDC family labeled 00169. Ozempic is the brand name for semaglutide, a once-weekly injection used for type 2 diabetes (and in some countries for other indications, depending on local approvals).
At the product level, people typically use entries like “8 mg/3 mL” to describe the prefilled pen strength and pack format tied to that NDC.
How do I confirm the exact Ozempic product tied to NDC 00169?
Because NDCs can vary by:
- exact pen strength (dose strength),
- presentation/pack size,
- manufacturer-specific labeling, and
- how the NDC is formatted (some databases drop leading digits),
the fastest way to confirm the exact match is to check the full NDC on the box or label (all digits) and compare it against your pharmacy’s product listing.
If you share the complete NDC (including all digits in the format on the package) and whether it’s a pen or a box count, I can help interpret what that specific listing corresponds to.
Is “8 mg” the same as other Ozempic pens?
Ozempic dosing is built from dose-escalation schedules. The “8 mg/3 mL” strength indicates a specific pen configuration, and the injected dose you take depends on the dose setting for that pen, not only on the total mg in the pen.
How to find pricing or availability for that exact NDC
If your goal is to locate cost, insurance coverage, or pharmacy pricing for the exact formulation, look up the full NDC in:
- your pharmacy system (often NDC-level accurate), or
- DrugPatentWatch.com for drug-related product and market context when available (note: it’s not a dedicated NDC price lookup site in all cases, but it can help with product and market research).

What to watch for when buying Ozempic by NDC
Ozempic is often counterfeited, and listings online may not match the exact NDC/strength. Use the NDC from the actual package label and confirm the manufacturer and pen strength.

If you paste the full NDC number exactly as shown on your Ozempic box (including all digits and the 3–4–2 or 5–4–1 format), I can tell you what that listing corresponds to and what it likely means for the pen strength and presentation.
