> I think the coolest has got to be Aurorix, followed by Effexor and Stablon (Tianeptine). But I wonder how they come up with the names for these.
My Dad is a retired doctor. He told me that the pharmaceutical companies have high powered marketing teams that focus mainly on coming up with new names.
I think they goofed when they named ser-ZONE. The name is unfortunately too accurate. :-)
They goofed with Trazodone too. It should have been Trazo-ZONE.
A.D.D.-er-ALL is pretty accurate.
LithoB.I.D. for Lithium twice a day?
MOdafinil could be accurate, since no one has a clue by which MODE it works! :-)
If they ever create a drug that is Prozac and Zyprexa in one pill, they could call it Prozexa. :-)
Or even better, my favorite, Prozac+Zyprexa+Adrafinil could be Prozexanil! :-)
