Using Chemical and Brand names of Drugs in Posts

Posted by shar on August 9, 2000, at 22:44:39

I'd like to ask if posters might be willing to give the "chemical" name of a drug AND the Brand name. Like diazepam/Valium or something. The post in which Sunnely talks about ADs and weight gain is a great example.

Just once in the post would do it. I don't know too many chemical names, I'm more aware of brand name drugs. Oh--so I spend a fair amount of time looking up names if both aren't used.

Like Klonopin is clonazepam; hydroxyzine pamoate is Vistaril. Etc.

I would really appreciate it!!!

Thanks,
Shar

James here....

This is a good idea. I tend to use Brand names, even for generics
which is great for folks in the US but not the rest of the world.
This is an international BB. If posters from the UK and other places
would also mention Brand and gereric once those of
us in the US will reconize the generic name as this
is usually the same but the brand name is different
in this and other countries.
