In reply to Re: Drug Names: LINK to interesting article, posted by Ame Sans Vie on March 31, 2004, at 17:39:01
hey that is an interesting article- I have long been somewhat facinated by which the name of a drug (not the chemical compound name) but branded name of certain drugs sounded POWERFUL- like EFFEXOR -EEFects the way one feels- ZOLOFT be higher or LOFTty type mood and Especially REMERON thus ( rem) sleep qualities --- funny but very genious marketing. Even if many of these drugs don't live up to thier "Mighty and POWERFUL" names I would assume the the ad promoting/branding agencies who do this type thing are literally laughing allll the way to the bank!!!lol--- even the newly to be approved drug pregabalin in Europe in June 04'and hopefully here in US, before yrs end - is called "Lyrica"- out of curiosity I did a quick search on the word Lyrica and what do ya know it came came back with all kinds of listings of "glorious" piano concerts "GRAND" orchestra type things!! GRAND AND GLORIOUS NAME ! I just hope it will live up to even half or slightly better than half of its very catchy and cool NAMESAKE AND NOT JUST another hyped up med that makes most of us sicker than we already are!! Seriously though I do think that it will be a much welcomed tool in the arsenal to fight mental anguish and other medical ills!! Just have to wait and see!!
