What it is

MECLIZINE 25 MG TABLET is how the CMS NADAC file names this product. The FDA NDC Directory lists it as “meclizine” and “meclizine hydrochloride”, as its NDCs’ listings variously write the nonproprietary name.

FDA gives its dosage form as “tablet” and “tablet, film coated” and its route as oral.

FDA lists 11 labelers (the companies named on the label) for its NDCs, among them Major Pharmaceuticals, Rising Pharma Holdings, Inc. and APNAR PHARMA LP.

FDA’s Established Pharmacologic Class for it is Antiemetic.

The NADAC file of 2026-10-14 prices it under 21 NDCs (National Drug Codes); the FDA directory lists 18 of them.

NADAC classes it as a generic drug (rate-setting class G), and marks some of its NDCs as sold over the counter and some not.

What pharmacies pay

Pharmacies pay $2.27 – $3.84 for 30 tablets, depending on the NDC ($0.07568 to $0.12808 per EA), by the CMS NADAC file of 2026-10-14; that price took effect on 2026-09-23. That is what pharmacies pay their suppliers, not what they charge you.

NADAC’s explanation codes for it: 1, calculated from the most recently completed pharmacy survey; 6, the CMS Covered Outpatient Drug Product File S/I/N drug category was not applied when grouping drugs for the calculation.
