So who knew about drug names being changed? I heard about it today but apparently it has been on the cards since December.

Many drugs are being named, to European standard names (which in some cases are the US names!)

Like frusemide changing to ferusomide, I think something like 80 drugs are changing their names

So... Did anyone else know, or is it just me that was in the dark?

P.s. please ignore the typing errors in the poll... I guess it will really encourage people to choose the thrid option if nothing else :)

I've heard of some of the changes, but not all.

Incidentally, disappointed in the poll results. Why haven't more people voted for "Whisper stop babbling"?

Eckey thump!
