Drug names, standards and references.

Names

A Drug can have three different names. The chemical name is the chemical formula for the drug. The name is often long and complicated.

The generic or official name is a shorter, less complicated name which is used for legal and scientific purposes. The generic name is the public property and any drug manufacturer may use it. There is only one generic name for each drug.

The brand name or trade name is the private property of the individual drug manufacturer and no competitor may use it. Brand names often have the superscript after or before the name. Most drugs have several brand names because each manufacturer producing the 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 a common practice to capitalize the first letter of a brand name.

The following list gives the chemical, generic and brand names of the well known antibiotic drug, ampicillin. Note that a drug can have several brand names but only one generic, or official, name.

Standards

While the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has the legal responsibility for deciding whether a drug may be distributed and sold, there are definite standards for drugs set by an independent committee of physicians, pharmacologists, pharmacists and manufacturers. This committee is called the United States Pharmacopeia (USP). Two important standards of the USP are that a drug must be clinically useful (useful for patients) and available in pure form (made by good manufacturing methods). If a drug has USP after its name, it has met with the standards of the Pharmacopeia. A list of drugs is published by the USP every 5 years but not all the drugs are listed in it. The National Formulary(NF) is a larger list of drugs which meets purity standards. The letters USP and NF after a drug indicate that the manufacturer claims his product conforms to USP or NF standards. It is up to the FDA to inspect and enforce the claims of drug manufacturers.

References

Libraries and hospitals have two large reference listings of drugs which give important information about drugs. The most complete and up-to-date is the Hospital Formulary, published by the American Society of Hospital Pharmacists. This listing gives information about the characteristics of drugs and their clinical usage (application to patient care).

The Physicians Desk Reference (PDR) is published by a private firm. Manufacturers pay to have their products listed there. The PDR is a useful reference with several different indexes to identify drugs (generic and chemical names index, product identification index, manufacturers’ index, drug classification index and full description about recommended dosages and administration for each drug).

1. Прочитайте текст бегло и изложите в двух-трех предложениях на русском языке, о

чем этот текст.

Medicines are used to fight infections and illnesses; they reduce pain, and for many people they make life bearable. Taking the correct medicine in the right way can therefore be very beneficial.

Medicines are either prescribed for you by a doctor or bought at the chemist’s. If you do not need a prescription, you can buy the medicine direct from the chemist. If they are prescribed, the doctor decides what you need, writes it down on a prescription form which you then take to the chemist who supplies the medicine to you. Doctors give careful thought and advice before prescribing medicines. The pharmacist at the chemist’s shop also checks the prescription and may give you some advice on taking the medicines, too. “Follow the instructions” on the bottle or packet, finish the course and make sure you understand what the medicine is for.

If you or your family have been given any prescriptions lately, did you know what the medicine was and what it was for?

All medicines are perfectly acceptable in our society, and the vast majority of people gain great benefits from them. However, some medicines contain drugs which can be dangerous if taken in the wrong amounts, or when there is no medical reason.

Do you ever take drugs?

Drinks. It may surprise you to know that tea, coffee, cocoa and coca cola contain a drug called caffeine. However, you would have to drink a very large quantity to cause any danger of caffeine overdose.
