Drug Names Top 10

The following are the best drug names and what they make me think about.

10. Dupixent: Sounds like a drug from the 1960s which keeps it on my list.

9. Taltz: Sounds like a put-down from The Big Sleep by Raymond Chandler.

8. Humira: Modern day version of Nexxus Humectress which I first came across in the mid-80s. Full of good hair days.

7. Mounjaro: Mount Kilimanjaro come on with this. It gets on the list because of the audacity but a little too “nail on the head” for their own good.

6. Zepbound: I’m taking this and I feel like I can take on the world. Actually just thinking maybe I can try jogging for the second time in my life.

5. Wegovy: My mouth just has a great time saying this. See my earlier post about Dextromethorphan.

4. Sotyktu: Xenu’s nice brother/Xena: Warrior Princess’ dad.

3. Vyvgart: Bar where Thor and Sif hang.

2. Bimzelx: Superman usually got him to say his name backwards, saving the day.

1. Skyrizi: Number one with a bullet it’s a power pack. Nothing will top this and I would like to shake the hand of the first person who said this out loud.

Honorable mention:

A vintage glass bottle of Apinol pine oil antiseptic on a table.
Apinol, my original favorite-named “drug.” Well just a topical, but close enough. Apinol is still made!
