A lesson in Pharmacology
This one gave me a side ache! I just had to share it.
A Lesson in Pharmacology
In pharmacology all drugs have 2 names, a trade name and a generic name.
For example, the trade name of Tylenol also has a generic name of acetaminophen.
Aleve is also naproxen. Amoxil is also called amoxicillin and Advil is also called ibuprofen.
The FDA has been looking for a generic name for Viagra. After careful consideration by a team of government experts, it recently announced that it has settled on the generic name of mycoxafloppin. Also considered were mycoxafailin, mydixadrupin, mydixarizin, mydixadud, dixafix and of course, ibepokin.
