I read an article on how drugs are named. Most of the names are created by a pair of fat ladies who get inspiration from things like cat names. I know that sounds ridiculous, but that is what the women said. Aside from that, they have to pick names that are not too closely related to the base chemical or technology in the drug so that it won’t be confused. When the drug patent expires they don’t want people to think only one of the versions on the market is the real thing.
