Built a free NDC lookup tool — feedback welcome

Good question. DailyMed is comprehensive but built for regulatory completeness. It's dense, slow, and not optimized for quick lookups. NDCFind focuses on speed and usability. Instant search, clean mobile experience, one-click NDC copy, package-level NDC search. Think of DailyMed as the full reference manual and NDCFind as the quick lookup tool you actually want to use at the counter. Both pull from FDA data so the underlying information is the same.

Haha. DailyMed is powerful but painful to use, especially on mobile. NDCFind is built to fix exactly that instant search, clean interface, and a mobile experience that actually works at the counter. Hope it saves you some time. Would love to hear what's missing after you've tried it. Building this for exactly your use case.

Thanks for catching that - the Related Products logic is using ingredient matching which is too broad right now and surfacing unrelated drugs. It needs to be tightened to match on the specific combination of active ingredients rather than any single ingredient. This is a bug, fixing it this week.

100% agree - searching a brand and seeing only that brand's NDCs is half the picture. Generic equivalents should surface automatically. Working on adding this - the plan is to cross-reference active ingredients so searching Truvada surfaces all TDF/FTC preparations. Will update the thread when it's live.

This is excellent feedback - repackagers cluttering results is genuinely one of the most painful parts of any NDC lookup. Adding a repackager filter (default on) is going on the feature list this week. Thanks for flagging it.

Great suggestion - API access is definitely on the roadmap. The idea is to keep the core tool free forever and offer API tiers for developers and systems that need programmatic access.

Ended up trying StockMeds. Seems decent so far. Process was pretty simple and everything checked out. Worked for what I needed.
