drug name
What prescriptions say
The name of a pharmaceutical substance, either its generic name (the chemical compound) or its brand name (the manufacturer's trademark).
Generic names like ibuprofen remain constant, while brand names like Advil vary by company.
Doctors may write prescriptions using either: Ask your pharmacist if a generic is available under that drug name.
