The original Brand Name like Tylenol. The generic would be acetaminophen, but it's still the same medicine.

DO YOU MEAN WHAT IS THE MEANING TO THE MANUFACTURE? IF THAT IS YOUR QUESTION THE NAME CAN BE BASED ON ANYTHING THE NAME OF THE CHEMIST WHO MAKE, ANCIENT LEGENDS SUCH AS MORPHIS. LATIN WORDS IE NOC. OR POSSIBLY WHERE IT COMES FROM IE PREMAREN PRE MEANS BEFORE MARE IS MAMA HORSE IN IS FOR URINE THIS IS A HORMONE MADE FROM THE URINE OF A PREGNANT HORSE.
IF YOU MEAN WHAT IS THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN BRAND NAME AND GENERIC THE COMPANY WHO DEVELOPED THE MEDICATION GETS TO NAME IT AND THEY OWN THE NAME. AFTER SO MANY YEARS OTHER COMPANIES CAN THEN MAKE THE SAME DRUGS THE ACTIVE INGREDIENTS ARE EXACTLY THE SAME THE ONLY DIFFERENCES ARE THE COLORS, SHAPES, AND HOW FAST THEY DISSOLVE.

Brand name drug costs a lot more than the generic...if the manufacturer has the patent then they can charge whatever the hell they want because they have no competition
