br br br br br br br br br br br br br br br br br br br
ch drug is assigned only one generic name selected by the U.S. Adopted Name Council, and the name i
br br br br br br br br br br br br br br br br br br
s not capitalized. The brand name is equivalent to the trade name and is capitalized. Although the brand
br br br br br br br br br br br br br br br br br b
name is technically the name of the company marketing the product, this term is often used interchange
r br br br br br br br br br br br br br br br br
ably with the trade name. The code name is the initial term used within a pharmaceutical company to re
br br br br br br br br br br br br br br br br br br
fer to a drug while it is undergoing investigation and is often a combination of capital letters and numbe
