Recently, I learned that Lasix was named such because it "lasts six hours". I thought that was really helpful in knowing its DOA without having to blindly memorize it. In hind site, it makes sense, but I hadn't ever realized it before, so it really blew my mind lol.
I'm trying to find a list of drugs whose name gives similar insight to what it does, but I can't find much.
Obviously , Prevacid was named because it "prevents acid", Premarin for the mares it comes from, and Xarelto for inhibiting factor Xa. Does anyone know of any other cool and clever brand names? Please share all you can think of!
Thanks!
