Features: Aligning technical terminology with international standards is essential for the development of the discipline. China has long adopted the naming principles of the World Health Organization (WHO) to determine the English and Chinese names of its pharmaceuticals, with English names using the International Nonproprietary Name (INN) and Chinese names using the official names designated by the Pharmacopoeia Commission of the People's Republic of China. However, with the development of the market economy, brand names and synonyms are increasingly being used in pharmaceutical operations and clinical practice, and this trend is growing. Many patients, as well as some clinical doctors and pharmacists, are finding it increasingly difficult to identify pharmaceutical names. The publication of Contemporary Dictionary of Pharmaceutical Brand Names and Synonyms is extremely timely under these circumstances. This book not only comprehensively includes the generic names approved for use domestically but also collects a large number of brand names and synonyms used in practical work. What makes it particularly unique is that it lists the manufacturers and dosage forms after each brand name, which is very beneficial for practical work. This book is a highly recommended pharmaceutical name reference tool with significant practical value.
