A Product Licence Number (or PL code for short) is a unique identifier on the packaging of medicines to uniquely identity the product, this code will normally remain the same despite the varying marketing and branding of the company's selling it.[1]

The code itself is issued by the Medicines and Healthcare products Regulatory Agency[2] in the UK and the European Medicines Agency.[3]
