We have several OTC products that we are commericializing in bottle of different counts. We have a concern like can we keep NDC code on the outer carton only and remove from the inner bottle label?
As per the CFR regulation 21 Title CFR 201.2, "NDC number is requested but not required to appear on all drug labels and in all drug labeling, including the label of any prescription drug container furnished to a consumer." but our concern is specifically for the consistency of presence of NDC code on outer and inner labels for a bottle.
Is NDC code required to appear on both 'bottle carton' and 'label' of same bottle?

If an NDC number appears on the carton, it must match the same NDC number on the bottle. You should not remove the NDC number from the bottle. This would render the drug as non-saleable (tampered with). There are serious FDA penalties for doing this.
