What's in a name? In a prescription drug name?

Drug companies sell directly to the consumer/patient/poor schlub like me via TV commercials.Doctors now take prescription requests.

"Doc, I saw this snazzy, sexy ad for "Beallus" that was shot on the beach in Hawaii. God, I'm in pain.

I'd like to try some of that! Pen me a prescription, will you?"

The prescription drug names are cool and catchy. They promise an orgasmic paradise, a spa experience, a pain-free existence.But... many drug names sound like Disney characters to me. Tinker Bell and the Great Fairy Rescue
