Where do companies come up with drug names?

The suffix --mab means "monoclonal antibody".

Coming up with unique names in the commercial space is always a chore...mostly to keep the lawyers at bay.

I’ve noticed that the suffix “mab” seems to correspond to monoclonal antibody therapies of various sorts.

It looks like they listed the word backwards. Maybe it was supposed to be “bamivortos”.

They merely take bamivortos and spell it backwards.
