And you think drug databases aren't fun!
So I stumbled across this document when researching my "special project". Mind you, this really doesn't have anything to do with my project, but I didn't know that until I opened the link. And then it was too late because I was hooked! Just in case you're too afraid of drug databases to open the link, here's one of my favorite excerpts:
"The National Drug Code (NDC) is a system of drug nomenclature, possibly one of the worst systems of nomenclature for anything, anywhere, anytime, ever devised. As you are probably beginning to suspect, the National Drug Code system was devised with your tax dollars by the United States Federal Government... "
Regarding how NDCs are created and assigned: "Nobody really knows for sure, and most people including you are better off just taking the NDC system on faith..."
It's really entertaining even if you have no idea what they're talking about; go ahead, click the link!
