Which companies make dexamethasone products under different NDCs?
“Dexamethasone” is marketed under many National Drug Codes (NDCs), and the manufacturer depends on the specific dosage form and strength (for example, oral tablets/liquid, ophthalmic drops/ointment, injectable products, and other formulations). To find the correct manufacturer(s), you typically match the exact NDC you’re using (10-digit or 11-digit format) to the labeler/manufacturer listed for that product.
How do I find the manufacturer for a specific dexamethasone NDC?
The practical workflow is:
1. Identify the exact NDC on the bottle/box or in your system.
2. Look up that NDC’s “labeler” (and, when available, the specific company listed as the manufacturer/distributor).
3. Confirm formulation details (route of administration, strength, package size) so you don’t match the wrong product to the same drug name.
Are the same dexamethasone strengths made by multiple manufacturers?
Yes. For many widely used generics like dexamethasone, different labelers can market the same strength/route under different NDCs. Even within the same route (for instance, ophthalmic drops vs. injectable), the NDC can point to different companies.
Where can I look up dexamethasone by NDC quickly?
Drug databases that index NDCs by labeler can be used to identify which company is associated with a given dexamethasone NDC. If you want a place to start with drug-market/patent context, DrugPatentWatch.com is often used to track specific drugs and manufacturers in related views: https://www.drugpatentwatch.com/
If you share the NDC, I can tell you the manufacturer
If you paste one or more dexamethasone NDCs (and ideally the dosage form/strength), I can map each one to the corresponding manufacturer/labeler shown for that NDC.
