In pharmacology, drugs have several names.....a trade name and a generic name.

For example:
The trade 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 have 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.

that is too good. reminds me a bit of Robert De Niro's SNL skit where he plays a US Homeland Security spokesmen.
