In pharmacology, all drugs have two names – a trade name and a generic name.

For example, the trade name of Tylenol is acetaminophen. Aleve is known anaproxen, Amoxil is amoxicillin, and Advil is ibuprofen.

The FDA has been looking for a generic name for Viagra.

After consideration by a team of government experts, it recently announced it has settled on the generic name of “mycoxafloppin”.

Also considered were mycoxafailin, mydixadrupin, mydixarizin, mydixadud, dixafix and, of course ibepokin.
