Letter: What’s up with the tongue-twisting drug-speak?

(Chris Samuels | The Salt Lake Tribune) Signage for a pharmacy in Taylorsville, Friday, March 22, 2024.

Taking a break from politics, I am curious about medications I’ve seen advertised, some of which are Xyzal, Sotykto, Wegovy, Rinvoq, Skyrizi, Dupixent, Dovato, Verzenio, Zyrtec, Vyvgart, Airsupra, Otezla, Vezoah, etc.

Who thinks up these names?

Gloria Garwood, East Millcreek
