Fly on the wall…

To finish the year on a light note…

Who wouldn’t have loved to have been a fly on the wall in the brainstorming meeting at Mercury Pharma when some bright spark came up with these names for their drugs… 😂🤣😂

I thought something similar about the Pfizer/BioNTech Covid vaccine called Comirnaty.

If you say it with the right American drawl, it could sound like Community. But in proper™ English, it is just hard to say.

And shouldn't Phorpain really be saying Againstpain?

I read co-morbidity for Comirnaty!

There is a drop for eyes called murine. That is the name for mouse pee!

Zapain doesn't zap anything. Try talking your GP in to giving you Kapake or Tylex. You might find one does the trick.

BadHare,

Kapake and Tylex appear to be the same combo of 30mg/500mg codeine/paracetamol as Zapain. The brand name is the only difference as far as I can tell.

The better pain killers work within half an hour, the cheap ones don’t seem to do much for me at all. As I’ve mentioned on other posts, a school friend who has worked in the drugs industry for over 40 years maintains it’s the quality not the quantity that matters.
