The trade name of a drug refers to the name of a drug-specific commodity used by a specific enterprise approved by the State Drug Administration. For example, acetaminophen is a kind of antipyretic and analgesic, commonly known as acetaminophen. Compound preparations containing acetaminophen produced by different pharmaceutical factories have trade names such as Baifuzhai, Tylenol and Bilitong.
Difference:
A drug is usually produced by multiple manufacturers. In order to establish their own brands, many drug manufacturers often register their own drugs with unique trade names to show their uniqueness. Therefore, the same drug can have multiple trade names, such as the trade names of acetaminophen compound preparations, such as Baifuzhai, Tylenol and Bilitong. When using drugs, patients should identify the generic name, that is, the legal name of drugs, that is, the name of drugs stipulated by national standards, no matter what the commodity name is. According to the Trademark Law, generic names cannot be registered as trademarks or trade names, so generic names can help identify drugs and avoid repeated use of drugs. The Drug Administration Law and the Provisions on the Administration of Drug Instructions and Labels (Order No.24 of the US Food and Drug Administration) stipulate that the generic name of the drug should be marked on the drug packaging or drug instructions. The writing of drug trade names shall not be the same as the generic names, their fonts and colors shall not be more prominent and eye-catching than the generic names, and their fonts shall not exceed half of the fonts used in the generic names in terms of single word area.
Generic names are national or worldwide names, and there is only one generic name for a drug. Trade name is the name that pharmaceutical manufacturers register their own drugs in order to establish their own brands. Drugs containing the same ingredients have different trade names due to different manufacturers, but the common names are the same. For example, acetaminophen is a generic name, while Tylenol and Baifuning are different trade names.
