Drugs and Drug Names

Drugs are chemical or biological substances used in the prevention or treatment of disease or to alter bodily functions, such as mood, behaviour, or performance, in a beneficial way. Drugs can come from many different sources. Some drugs are obtained from parts of plants, such as the roots, leaves, and fruit. Examples of such drugs are digitalis (from the foxglove plant) and antibiotics such as penicillin and erythromycin. Drugs can also be obtained from animals; for example, certain hormones are secretions from the glands of animals. Drugs can be made as chemical substances that are synthesized in the laboratory. Anticancer drugs may be examples of laboratory-synthesized drugs. Some drugs are isolated from plant or animal sources and are contained in food substances. These drugs are called vitamins.

Drugs are prepared and dispensed by a pharmacist through a drugstore or pharmacy on written order from a physician or dentist.

A drug can have three different names. The chemical name is the chemical formula for the drug. This name, often long and complicated, is useful for the chemist because it shows the structure of the drug.

The generic, or official, name is a shorter, less complicated name that is recognized as identifying the drug for legal and scientific purposes. The generic name becomes public property after some years of use by original manufacturer, and any drug manufacturer may use it thereafter. There is only one generic name for each drug.

The brand (trade or proprietary) name is the private property of the individual drug

manufacturer, and no competitor (конкурент) may use it. A brand name often has the superscript ® after or before the name, indicating that it is a registered trade name. Drugs may have several brand names because each manufacturer producing a drug gives it a different name. When a specific brand name is ordered on a prescription by a physician, it must be dispensed by the pharmacist; no other brand name may be substituted. It is usual practice to capitalize the first letter or a brand name.

The following list shows the chemical, generic, and brand names of the antibiotic drug ampicillin; note that the drug can have several names but only one generic, or official, name:

Chemical Name
