After reading the Celebrex etc. confusing orders I looked around and found a site by the Pharmacopeia people. It has bunches of similar meds!

It seems to get worse every year. At the rate new drugs are approved by the FDA anymore the drugs are being cranked out faster. I know I find myself with my head spinning sometimes at the names. The 3rd generation sporins names are a real treat!!!:rolleyes:
