You’re not going to believe this. The names of many prescription drugs will have you scratching your head in confusion or rolling on the floor laughing. Your reaction may depend on how you choose to pronounce the names. It must be admitted, though, that while I was perusing this list, I couldn’t help but make up a few of my own. Those which were invented by me will be flagged as such. As you read through, have fun thinking up some of your own.

One other thing I noticed was that only one of these was underlined in red, and it wasn’t even one of the names I made up, it was a real prescription drug. Apparently spell-check recognizes even the fake ones.
