Like you, I now understand more about how the name of a medicine in conjured up.

What I don’t yet understand is why there are two names for each drug. Are both made up using the same kind of process ?

While I am no expert, I suspect one is the generic name, and the other the name brand.

Such as Valium/ diazepam, for instance.
