    Trade name VS Generic Name

    One of my patients sent this to me--I thought it was freak'n funny--hope you enjoy it as well....

    In pharmacology, all drugs have two names - a trade name and a generic name. For example, the trade name of Tylenol is acetaminophen Aleve is known as naproxen, Amoxil is amoxicillin, and Advil is ibuprofen.

    The FDA has been looking for a generic name for Viagra. After consideration by a team of government experts, it recently announced it has settled on the generic name of mycoxafloppin. Also considered were
    mycoxafailin, mydixadrupin, mydixarizin, mydixadud, dixafix, and of course ibepokin.

    Pfizer Corp. is making an announcement today that VIAGRA will soon be available in liquid form and will be marketed by Pepsi Cola as a power beverage suitable for use as a mixer. Pepsi's proposed ad campaign claims it will now be possible for a man to literally pour himself a stiff one. Obviously we can no longer call this a soft drink. This additive
    gives new meaning to the names of cocktails, highballs and just a good old fashioned stiff drink.
    Pepsi will market the new concoction by the name of Mount & Do
