National Drug Codes (NDCs)

The NDC number identifies the labeler, product, and trade package size. The ALOXI® NDCs changed in 2009 to reflect Eisai Inc. as the labeler; however, physicians may continue to administer the drug labeled with the prior NDC as dating allows. The Eisai Assistance Program can answer any questions you have regarding the change of ALOXI® NDCs.

Prior ALOXI® NDCs

ALOXI® Package Size Indication NDC
0.25 mg (free base) per 5 mL CINV 58063-797-25

New ALOXI® NDCs

ALOXI® Package Size Indication NDC
0.25 mg (free base) per 5 mL CINV 62856-797-01

Products are supplied as single-use sterile, clear, colorless solutions in glass vials.

Some payors require physicians to report 11-digit NDCs when reporting a drug on a claim form. Converting the 10-digit NDC for ALOXI® to an 11-digit NDC requires the use of a leading zero in the product code section of the NDC (ie, the middle section):

10-Digit NDC Example 11-Digit NDC Example With Leading Zero

ALOXI® 10-Digit NDC ALOXI® 11-Digit NDC With Leading Zero
62856-797-01 62856-0797-01

Indication

ALOXI® (palonosetron HCl) injection 0.25 mg is indicated for the prevention of acute and delayed nausea and vomiting associated with initial and repeat courses of moderately emetogenic chemotherapy, and acute nausea and vomiting associated with initial and repeat courses of highly emetogenic chemotherapy.
