Generic Names


In pharmacology, all drugs have two names, a brand name and a generic name. For example, the brand name of Tylenol has a generic name of acetaminophen. Aleve is also called naproxen.
Amoxil is also called amoxicillin and Advil is also called ibuprofen.

The FDA has been looking for a generic name for Viagra.
After careful consideration by a team of government experts,
it recently announced that it has settled on the following generic name---you ready--here it comes---mycoxafloppin.
Also considered were:
mycoxafailin
mydixadrupin
mydixadud
dixafix
and of course----ibepokin......

SORRY IF THIS OFFENDED ANYONE
