In pharmacology, all drugs have a generic name: Tylenol is
acetaminophen, 
Aleve is naproxen sodium, Amoxil is amoxicillin, Advil is ibuprofen, and 
so on.

The FDA has been looking for a generic name for Viagra, and announced 
that it has settled on mycoxafloppin. Also considered were mycoxafailin, 
mydixadrupin, mydixarizin, mydixadud, dixafix, and of course, ibepokin.
