The spread

0.49× – 2.9× estimated

Medicare pays between 0.49× and 2.9× what pharmacies pay, depending on the NDC.

9 labelers share HCPCS J7510 on the CMS crosswalk, so its payment limit is an average across all their products billed under that code, not this NDC’s own price.

What it is

FDA lists 6 labelers (the companies named on the label) for its NDCs, among them PAI Holdings, LLC dba PAI Pharma, Heritage Pharma Labs Inc. d/b/a Avet Pharmaceuticals Labs Inc. and Edenbridge Pharmaceuticals LLC.

The NADAC file of 2026-10-14 prices it under 11 NDCs (National Drug Codes).

Questions

Why does this page start at 1 mL?
The FDA package descriptions of this product’s NDCs give different amounts (237 mL, 240 mL, 480 mL). So the card starts at 1 ML; change it to match your prescription.
