Other names for drugs...


I think this may have been on here before...Oh well. Still Funny!


In pharmacology, all drugs have two names, a trade name and generic
name. For example, the trade name of Tylenol also 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 generic name of mycoxafloppin. Also
considered were mycoxafailin, mydixadrupin, mydixarizin, mydixadud,
dixafix, and of course, ibepokin.

So this is the kinda stuff you read on your off time!

Now I don't feel so bad.

Dave, who will be getting a new chair now, and just gave a copy of this to Doc.
