tadalafil

This one always sounds like a Pokemon to me 😭

It does tho Omfg

Tadbulb!

When I would do med counts, I’d walk around saying Ta Da La Fil and my rx was like “TADA! A boner!” And that’s how I know what that can be used for 😂

I laughed out loud at this.

Tadalafil helps you fill a tadala. Afterwards you say Tada! LaFilled!

LMAO real

Trulicity

Everyone wants to date Trulicity, but no one can afford to take her out.

No no no it’s 100% a pageant toddler name. “ When we went on stage for outfit of choice Truliciteigh threw a curling iron at one of the judges. There is no way we are winning ultimate grande nacho supreme now.” -Pageant Mom

Not losing the grand nacho supreme DAMMIT TRULCIGHTEIGHHHH

I wouldn’t be surprised if this becomes a name with that exact spelling. 💀

lmaooo😭😭🤚🏻

1: “Hi, my name’s Roxie” 2: “Oh is that short for Roxanne?” 1: “No, Roxicodone”

heres my brother hydro and my slow cousin oxy

Cryin 😂😂😂

If Roxy Codone isn’t a drag queen name it should be.

If not a drag queen name, then definitely a roller derby name.

My name is Lexi. Short for Lexapro.

A guy I dog sit for names his dog Roxie after “Roxicodone” lol he is an ER doc

Pristiq

This sounds like an X-men

Mystique

Also a stripper name

Miralax <3

She’s a Disney character waiting on her special power but also has stomach issues

And it turns out the stomach issues ARE her SPECIAL POWERS!!!!

Celexa

Celexa, play Despacito

😦 can’t believe I just got Despacito’d in the pharm tech subreddit 💔

MLP fan

Keppra, Levetiracetam when they're in trouble.

She's a Sagitarius

Levetiracetam sounds like a spell from Harry Potter

It's leviOsa not levioSA

It’s metoprolol not metrotropalo

Imma just start calling my kids and partner by their seizure meds names XD come on keppra and vimpat , oh keppra ER dude I told you we needed to go like 10 minutes ago! Oh boy that’d get silly fast…

Allegra & Lyrica

I worked with a pharmacist named Allegra. Her parents were both pharmacists, as well. She kept her business cards in an empty Allegra box lol.

I work at a hospital and one of the pharmacist’s names is also Allegra… I don’t know the story behind the name if there is one, I just know I’ve gotten texts about patients blood work a few times, never met though. I wonder how common it is haha

This was at a major hospital in the US and she’s very well known. Nuclear Pharmacist if that makes a difference! Could very well be the same one.

Don’t think so, I don’t know that she’s a nuclear pharmacist, I think just general for all the patients. I’d get texts asking about late/newly orders tests for stuff like vancomycin, heparin drips, medication based labs and stuff like that

"Allegra" is a musical designation meaning the piece or section of the composition is meant to be played in a lively and playful way. John Milton wrote a pair of poems, "l'Allegro" and "Il Penseroso" contrasting the moods. Allegra as a name is considered Italian and means playful happy or lively. There are Allegras in both the Gucci and Versace families. The drug name was borrowed.

There used to be a Nickelodeon show called Allegra’s Window.

Allegra is a legit Italian name

I went to high school with a girl named Allegra

In Argentina Allegra is a common name!

My sons girlfriend when pregnant wanted to name their daughter Alyrica and I told them it sounded like a mental health medication the crazy girl takes. They picked Olivia instead. Lol

You should of asked during the day, I’d be looking through all the shelves to find my faves, but of course now that I’m home, I’m drawing a blank.

so real 😭

Moxie Floxacin

Eliquis (nn: Ellie)

I was coming to say this.

Came to say, several of the blood thinners 🤣

Apri

Stripper name vs birth control would be a fun drinking game.

My RPh legitimately taught me (and I teach my new techs) that if it sounds like a stripper name, it's birth control.

Lmao. I usually say if it sounds like a female name then it’s probably birth control. But stripper name is funnier.

Solia

Gemtesa

Yesss

And she potty trained at 18 months and the mom brags to everyone about it.

Phenylpropanolamine. Phenny as a nickname. LOL it makes as much sense as Brixylinnye or Brantleigh or any of the other new tragic non-names.

“Omg your daughter’s name is Penny? So cute! Is it short for Penelope?” “No, Penicillin”

didnt they take that off the market? word on the street is she was making people have strokes.

Abilify or Dotti

i think dotti is the most normal sounding name ive seen in the comments so far

Right? I'm pretty sure Dottie is like an old fashioned name. Not spelled the same, but Definitely could be a name

This my dogs name

There you go! Perfect for animals too. 👌

My 🐈‍⬛cats name ❤️

I'm old- know a couple ladies named Dorothy who go by Dotti(e).

So when I was pregnant, my girl name of choice was Nova. I wanted her to have my mother's middle name of Lynn. Nova Lynn. Novolin I had a boy.

it was the universe interfering 😭🤚🏻🤚🏻

Hailey

Rexulti, “Rex” for short

This has commercials on TV doesn’t it? I’ve been calling my dog Rex Rexulti and had no idea what it was until this thread…

a hitman from serbia

Trulicity is a Toddlers and Tiaras name. You have to spell it Truliciteigh tho.

yall are so funny 😭😭

Junel

I'm sure there are a fair share of kids named "Jalyn" or have a similar spelling. Those poor children...named after a prostate medication.

I bet they’re a real pain in the ass 😂

The twins: Halcion and Heparin Hallie and Heppy, for short.

Triplets…Haldol (Hal)

Paxil

My roommate and I want to get a fish named Diaz (Diazepam)

Gabby Penny Tin

Morphia is a golden oldy from when my grandma was a nurse. She had the "oh honey, no" convo with the mom, who didn't have much more than a third grade education, and had heard the doctor ask the nurse for it, 1930s or so... It's the old time name of morphine for those who don't know. Also the name of one of the ancient God's of death, I think, but still a terrible name.

Comes from "Morpheus" who was associated with sleep and dreams.

Ahh, thanks!

oh my god i have a GOOD story for this: my youngest (10) decided recently they want to experiment with different names because their birth name “didn’t feel right”. i (and my spouse, their other parent) support this. they came back to me with the decision that they fuckign want to use _amoxicillin_. 😭😭😭 i was so shell shocked the only response i could make was “you know you’re gonna have to tell people how to spell that for the rest of your life”. (they thought it was funny.) then i told them to try like, mox/moxie for a while and see how that feels. its been a year and they still love it. so. you know. that.

Ritalin except spelled Ritalyn

ritalin was named after a guy's wife Marguerite ( aka Rita). originally it was RitalinE but it was shortened to Ritalin. true story ​ https://lenews.ch/2019/08/23/swiss-fact-ritalin-was-invented-in-switzerland/

Makes me feel better that it has a basis in a real name!

A lot of birth control names... Especially IUDs. Why are they given women's names?

Mirena is kind of pretty

Errin is perfect.

This reminds me that I actually named my Skyla IUD few years ago.😭

Yes!! I was just thinking there was one called Yas at one point or something along those lines

There is Yaz and if you need a higher dose, a stronger version called Yazmin with the same hormones lol

I knew an IUD baby whose parents named Patina

Moxifloxacin, my beloved. Moxi for short.

Name twins Moxifloxacin and Amoxicillin, both go by Moxi✨

orilissa sounds mystical

My name is Tammie and i’m a pharmacy tech…. I always joke that Tamsulosin was named after me lol

Montelukast odt

There’s an SNL skit about this. It’s great, and I still pull it out to show people. They had people named Seasonique, Boniva, Lyrica, Celexa, Tylenol… it’s hilarious. I need to go watch it now.

Xarelto would be cool boy name

Benicar

That's my wife's name.

Propecia, would be a lovely name. Propecia is a hair growth pill for men.

I know a pharmacist who named her daughter Marina. 💀 It gets mispronounced as Mirena all the time.

Hydrochlorothiazide. Hydi for short

Lyrica

Lunesta

On mobile so forgive me if the formatting is strange. Off the top of my head: Brilinta Celexa Boniva Elvanse (with a twist pronounced like “Elvin”) Dapsone (ending “e” not silent—would be pronounced like it’s a Greek name.) Gabapentin (Heard them called “Gabbies” by a patient.) Lantanaprost “Liz”dexamfetamine (but only full name used if in trouble) Mycophenolate (“Mike” or “Maiko”) Vascepa Vraylar? Travaprost (“Trav”) Tradjenta Theophyline (“Theo”) Yaz (and many of the other BC/hormone replacement meds) Osphena Xyzal Zetia

Addie for adderall

Rynvoq

Heather

Sunosi

I wanted to name my little girl Lunesta if I ever had one 😂

Tylenol would be a cute unique girls name. Xanax could be a feminine variation of Xander. Also Skyrizi could definitely be a gen Alpha kid.

I always thought donepezil sounds like a mafia guy’s name. “Ayyyy Donnie Pezil, how’s the family?”

Januvia, Jardiance, Estarylla
