These ideas came into my head and my followers on Twitter the other day:
#DrugsMoreUselessThanTheKardasians
(I realize I spelled it wrong but considering the amount of brain cells I lost thinking about these drugs is more than that family has combined it's allowed. So that's where to find them)
1. Reprexain - Because we really need brand versions of hydrocodone/ibuprofen with different amount of hydrocodone!
2. Soma 250mg - No drug abuser wants LESS drug to abuse!
3. Zetia - Poof that only treating will sell for millions of dollars.
4. Aricept 23 - An ounce of benefit for 10 pounds worth of side effects.
5. Treximet - We put a generic headache medicine into your generic headache medicine! Now pay us!
6. Naproxen sodium - Why yes I do have a 20-50mg sodium deficiency that needs supplemented twice a day with my inflammation and pain medicine
7. Vimovo - What everyone needs is another drug that has esomeprazole, isn't covered by their insurance and has an over the counter pain medicine in it.
8. Avandia - Kills diabetes, kills your heart.
9. Tribenzor - When in doubt add two cheap generics to a brand name medications that doesn't get much use.
10. Xenical - High dose over the counter meds that help you leave greasy stains in your underwear must have a prescription!
11. Dexilant - The perfect name for a PPI in case the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles need one
12. Auralgan - Add one obscure ingrediant and of course the price should increase ten times!
13. Edluar - Just in case one Ambien CR didn't work, let's make the same drug with a new name
14. Qnexa - In case one stimulant weight loss med wasn't enough, let's add another drug that has some more crazy side effects
15. Intuniv - Make a decades old med extended release and chase a new indication. That should be worth a couple million.
16. Veramyst - Let's take a successful drug and refine the way it sprays while changing the salt form
17. BiDil - Put 2 generic medications in the same pill and market them to minorities! (NO KIDDING!)
18. Naproxen 275mg - Wait, you mean 200 is OTC? Don't tell the insurance companies!
19. Moxatag - Just in case one of the rich suburbanites wants a fancy version of a dirt cheap antibiotic
20. Tamiflu - It's as effective as chicken noodle soup but it comes in a nice little capsule
Any other suggestions?
