Ever heard of Viagra, Rogaine, or Ozempic?
The process for turning a chemical compound into a household name is both a science and an art. In fact, naming a prescription drug can take a manufacturer up to four years, as a set of three monikers per medicine must run the gauntlet of several regulatory agencies.
It all starts with determining a drug’s chemical and generic names — both of which involve established rules. After those are settled, the rest is marketing.

Get all the answers in our season 8 opener.
