Do you feel irritated of your nick name, which is quite embarrassing and become almost intolerable when your mom call it in front of everyone? Probably a definite yes? We bring to you a collection of those names which will make you say THANK GOD! I am still not so worse.

No no, it’s not cheeku, golu or pintu! It’s a wide range of weird medicine names and we bet you cannot pronounce them correctly in one go! 

1. Phenoxymethylpenicillin : Okay let’s try and spell it, Pheno… phenox what? And what’s the use of pencil in this?, My god! This seems to be a puzzle, okay wait I can remember this one as the Puzzle Medicine. Yeah that’s easy!

2. Hydrochlorothiazide : All I could understand is Hydro-chloro-acid! Yeah that one which we used to say during our lab classes in school. You must be amazed to know this medicine helps to control High Blood Pressure, wow!

3. Incivek : What Mobikwik? Oh it just reminded me of my last mobile recharge, how can this name be of an antivirus medicine, weird isn’t it? 

4. Xeljanz : This one is resembling Jazz! No, you don’t have to switch on the music and dance. Well, it’s an arthritis drug. Oh! Now I understood, let your muscles have a jazz take XELJANZ! It makes sense alright!

5. Tenofovir : Wooooo! The savior is coming straight from the skies to heel you, Ten-of-vir, oh I have mistaken they are 10 in number, 10 aids are coming your way to save you from HIV infection. 

6. Phensuximide : Suicide!! Yeah, this seems the same, don’t believe me? Okay read this then- “Phensuximide is an anticonvulsant in the succinimide class. It suppresses the paroxysmal three cycle per second spike and wave EEG pattern associated with lapses of consciousness in petit mal seizures.” We are sure you did not understand, see I told you it’s almost a suicide!  

Well, we know all these medicines have left you in thoughts and laughter and yes a sense of satisfaction too, why? At least you have got better nick names isn’t it?
