Nonproprietary Name (USAN / INN) Development

Created 11 years ago in Other

The nonproprietary name, or "generic name," is a necessary and unique designation for every pharmaceutical substance or biologic product. It is requested on FDA applications and in drug substance chemical descriptions, and it also appears with the company's trade name on drug labels. Because the guidelines to develop a nonproprietary name are tricky, and the approval process is complicated, many nonproprietary names are initially rejected. I have helped many companies create nonproprietary names, and I can help you navigate these challenges successfully.
