Difficult Names of the Medicines

Potentially billions can go into naming a drug. Which is why pharmaceutical companies spend lots of money trying to land just the right arrangements of consonants and vowels.

Branded and Generic Medicines

What is Generic Medicine? Why is it called Generic? If you are looking for answers of these questions then you are at the right place. By the time you finish reading this article, your knowledge on this subject will be enhanced to a new level.

Let's first understand the need to have different names for medicines. To put this theory in simple words, orange juice is something consumed everyday, but an orange juice manufacturing company would want to give their product a unique name that is different from the common tag "orange juice" and this new name becomes its brand name. Similarly, a generic name is a chemical name given to a medicine keeping in mind the active ingredients present in it. A brand name is a name given by the manufacturing company to differentiate their product from other similar products in the market. Another important reason behind giving brand name to a medicine is that generic names are long and can be difficult to remember, while a brand name will always be short and easy to remember.
