Generic names index

Many drugs listed in the Brand and Generic Name Index have several variations on the trade name, depending on different forms of the drug and routes of administration. For example, a drug that is available in tablets, capsules, and injectable forms may have slight variations on the trade name that reflect these different preparations. 

Example Quizalofop—In the generic name index, this compound was found to be a phenoxy carboxylic acid and a quinoxaline. Quizalofop, therefore, appears twice in the chemical function index, once under the heading phenoxy carboxylic acids and once under quinoxalines. However, the listing under quinoxalines shows also (phenoxy carboxylic acid) which means that this is the chapter of the main text in which the synthesis of quizalofop is described. 

This work is presented in two voiumes. The arrangement within the books is aiphabetic by generic name. The tabie of contents appears at the beginning of Volume 1. There is also an index by trade names used in many of the countries in the world. Another index lists the raw materials used in the manufacture of the various drugs, an index which should be commercially valuable to suppliers of chemical raw materials to the pharmaceutical industry. These indexes appear at the end of Volume 2. 

Drugs Under Patent. This book [77] is a cross-referenced listing of over 2500 drugs covered in the United States under patent law and marketing exclusivity provisions of the Waxman-Hatch Act. Eight indexes provide market and patent status information by company, trade name, generic name, expiration date, dosage form, exclusivity code, patent number, and NDA number. Updated annually, this book is available commercially. 

Pigments are classified by an internationally recognised convention, published in the International Colour Index by the Society of Dyers and Colourists in Bradford, in association with the American Association of Textile Chemists and Colorists. The Index issues a generic name to chemically identical products (e.g., titanium dioxide is classified as C.I. Pigment White 6). Where structures are known, pigments are also given a constitution number (e.g., titanium dioxide has the constitution number Cl 77891).This number is reserved for the essential colorant, other ingredients, such as the carriers used in a masterbatch, do not affect this classification. 

The application range designated by this generic name in the Colour Index incorporates those acid, direct and mordant dyes with substantivity for leather and satisfactory fastness on that substrate [55]. It is a commercially important sector, the number of products listed being exceeded only by the complete acid or direct dye ranges. As expected from the sources of this selection, about 85% of leather dyes are azo compounds (35% disazo, 30% monoazo, 20% metal-complex monoazo) and the remainder are mainly yellow to orange stilbene dyes and anthraquinone or triarylmethane types in the violet to green sectors. 

A good look at the index of this book indicates the items commonly encountered in examinations. The index is an exhaustive one and is divided into proprietary names, generic names, subject areas and conditions. A self-assessment exercise is to check that you have adequate knowledge of examples of the topics listed above and then attempt the tests. A review of the drugs in the index provides examples of medicines that certainly need attention. You should be familiar with the action, classification, side-effects, clinically significant drug interactions, contraindications and cautions of a number of classes of drugs, such as ... 

Many a brand name is not listed in the index Proprietary Name Generic Name. In these cases, it will be useful to consult the packaging information, which should list the generic (nonproprietary) name or INN. 

The nomenclature given for these componnds is a nniversally recognised system for the naming of dyestuffs devised by the Society of Dyers and Colourists as part of their Colour Index (Cl). The Cl Generic Name is made up of the application class, the hne and a nnmber. Acid dyes are nsed on wool and polyamide, direct dyes on cel-lulosic fibres, paper and leather, disperse dyes on polyester fibres, reactive dyes on cellnlosic fibres and basic dyes on polyacrylonitrile and paper. 

Colour Index is the descriptive catalogue of synthetic colorants in terms of generic name and constitntion (where disclosed) published by the SDC. 

The Colour Index assigns Cl generic names to commercial dyes. This Cl name is defined as a classification name and serial number which when allocated lo a commercial product allows that product to be uniquely Identified within any Colour Index Application Class." This enables the particular commercial products to be classified along with other products whose essential colorant has the same chemical constitution. 

Pigments are categorized according to their generic name and chemical constitution in the Color Index (Cl), published by the Society of Dyeis and Colourists, and the American Association of Textile Chemists and Colorists. 

Older editions of the PDR (1993 and earlier) list generic and chemical names in a separate section called the Generic and Chemical Name Index, marked by YELLOW pages. If you are using an older edition, consult this section if you know only the generic name.

It is possible to classify dyes by using the Color Index that classifies dyes according to a dual system. An assigned number defines the chemical class and a generic name identifies the usage of application. However, it is convenient to use the application classification used by the U.S. International Trade Commission for application classes ... 

In the "Colour Index" (C.I.), a multiple-volume, English reference work (6), the names, commercial denominations, constitutions, and dyeing properties of synthetic and natural dyes are listed. Each dye has a generic name, and, if the constitution is known, a constitution number.
