Falls Church, VA (PRWEB) January 06, 2016 -- Choosing the Right Drug Name:

The FDA rejects 40% of the drug names presented to it each year.
Not surprisingly, the drug industry has criticized the agency about its name approval process.
So, in May 2014, the FDA released a draft guidance that covers the selection and approval process for proposed names of both prescription and nonprescription human drugs and biologics. In the guidance, the FDA describes its own review processes in detail and lays out 4 steps to follow in choosing a drug name. And, Health Canada’s guidance “Review of Drug Brand Names” came into force last July.
FDAnews has teamed with drug-naming expert Dr. Susan Proulx to present a 90-minute webinar that will look closely at both guidances. Dr. Proulx will provide ideas on how to win approval for a suggested drug name.
BONUS HANDOUT: Attendees will receive their own copy of a chart that compares drug name approval regulations in the US and Canada.
And attendees will learn more about the following:
• How the new guidance will affect drug trademark development (in time, money and the differences from country to country on processing a global mark)
• Pros and cons of relying on computerized searching to identify similarity in proposed names
• Using simulation testing — how to conduct testing similar to what the FDA will eventually do on a chosen drug name
• The need for expert analysis before deciding what trademark to choose
Choosing the Right Drug Name: Increase Your Chances for Approval by FDA and Health Canada is sure to be a presentation not to miss.
