Straight answers about Data from U.S. Food and Drug Administration (openFDA), delivered clean. data

Does the NDC Directory distinguish prescription drugs from OTC products?

Yes, twice over. product_type separates HUMAN PRESCRIPTION DRUG from HUMAN OTC DRUG, and marketing_category states the regulatory pathway - NDA, ANDA, OTC MONOGRAPH DRUG, UNAPPROVED DRUG OTHER - with the associated application number riding alongside, including monograph references such as M020.

Can I build a history of products entering and leaving the market?

Yes. Marketing start and end dates ride on every record alongside listing expiration dates, and daily deliveries accumulate into a longitudinal panel because each snapshot reuses identical field names. Quiet exits become visible as dated events instead of absences you discover later.

Does an NDC number mean the FDA approved the drug?

No. FDA states plainly that assignment of an NDC does not denote approval, and that directory results are unvalidated submissions not to be relied on for medical decisions. The value here is identity and structure - who lists which marketed product, under which codes - not a safety judgment.

How does the NDC Directory relate to the rest of the drug retail catalog?

It is the spine. Recall records, structured product labels, adverse event reports and price files all key to NDC codes this directory defines, so delivering it cleaned, unnested and refreshed means every other join in the industry starts from a stable master rather than a fresh reconciliation project.
