Drug Names & Equivalents
The purpose of this list is to understand the drugs (equivalent) of what someone from another country is taking when we're discussing on the forums. Feel free to copy and paste into your own document and print it off or store on your computer.
The drug names below are listed alphabetically
- reading down. Their generic or their name in another country is listed
"beside" each. I.E. Albuterol.......is also known as Ventolin, Proventil and
Salbutamol. Alphabetically speaking if you go down the list to Ventolin, you'll
see it cross referenced with Albuterol, Proventil, Salbutamol. Generic is shown
in lower case.
