What is the procedure for naming medicines? Know the meaning of the code written on the medicine card


Process of naming Medicines: Medicines have become necessary in most households. But the names of medicines are so strange that people often do not understand them. But do you know how these drugs are named? So understand the whole matter.

How are medicines named?

Whenever a drug is approved in the US, it is given a generic name. After this it is given a brand name. For example, phenytoin is a generic name and Dilantin is a brand name of the same drug, a commonly used antiseizure drug. In most cases, drugs have three types of names, including chemical name, generic name, and brand name. However, the company tries to have a name that no other company has. That's why the company tries not to find that name anywhere else. That is why 'Qs', 'Xs' and 'Zs' are often used.

The process of naming a drug is long and complicated

The process of naming a drug is long and complicated. The drug designation process begins before the drug is approved by the agency. In many cases it can take up to four years to go through the name selection and approval process.

What information is on the medication leaflet?

The medicine page contains the manufacture and expiry date. Apart from this, its price is also recorded. Apart from this, salts used in medicine are also mentioned on it. Many times people take drugs out of their own free will, so companies have put a red bar on some drugs. Which means these medicines should be taken after consulting a doctor. Also, some medicines have an Rx symbol at the top of the name. This means that this medicine can only be given to a patient whose doctor has written a prescription. NRx means that only a doctor licensed to prescribe such drugs can be advised to take them. When prescribed XRx, the drug cannot be obtained from a medical store, it can only be obtained from a licensed doctor.
