The Unique Ingredient Identifier (UNII) is a unique alphanumeric code assigned to a specific substance or ingredient by the FDA (Food and Drug Administration). UNII codes are non-proprietary, free, unique, unambiguous and nonsemantic. Each UNII code consists of 10 characters with both letters and numbers. The first two characters represent the source of the substance while the remaining eight characters represent the specific substance. UNII codes are primarily used to identify and track substances in several drug databases and regulatory documents related to drugs, biologics, and medical devices.

Preferred Substance Name: METHYLCELLULOSE (15 MPA.S)

The Preferred Substance Name (PSN) is the official or preferred name of a substance or ingredient. The preferred name provides a standardized and consistent name for each substance is used in the UNII code system.
