What Is Lot Number
UpdatedI had testosterone inj's. at my Drs, office and the chart only lists a lot number. How can I find out if these inj's. were generic or brand name drugs?

@BillyG,
From what I could gather, lot numbers are issued by the manufacturer of the medication. Apparently each batch of whatever product these manufacturers make are assigned this unique set of numbers to help them monitor and keep track of certain drugs that require recalls, shipping orders, or other important measures. One article I read suggested that it be thought of as a medication's social security number in that sense.
I think the only way to know for sure what you were given at the doctor's office that day would be to call in or ask during your next appointment.
I hope this helps!
