About this episode
Would love to know your opinions & expectations -Dr Radhika Vijay
Welcome all to IS PHARMACOLOGY DIFFICULT Podcast! I am Dr Radhika Vijay.
What are the different rules to name a drug? How does generic name differ from trade name, to know answers of these questions with details about generic names and brand names of drugs, you need to listen to today's episode. The non proprietary names are famously called as generic names.Each drug has a unique INN . A special name stem provides uniqueness to a drug name and associates it with its unique drug class or drug group. I will give suitable examples for this. Knowing suffixes will prompt you to know each drug group and its mechanism nicely and accurately. Then I will give you all different details and facts along with examples of generic names, all this information is highly interesting and important.With this, next I will shift the talks to trade names or brand names.I will talk about need of these names, their quick facts, their examples, evaluation along with generic names, I will discuss all the pros and cons, how the generic names and brand names differ, I will highlight the importance of generic names, at the same time I will also hypothetically tell the essence of brand names, now that may not be in much vogue or practically applicable, but I will be doing this to exercise freedom of speech, discussion , expression and opinion about scientific facts on this audio platform. That will be drawing today's curtains down..
