Trade name
| • | The trade name is not required. |
| • | For generic drugs, you may enter "Trade name equiv" for clarification |
Supplemental labeling
| • | The supplemental labeling is not required. |
| • | Use this field to clarify the package contents, i.e., "5mg = ½ tab". |

| • | Enter numbers only in the NDC field. |
| • | Do not enter spaces or dashes. |
