Different words beside medicine name?

Question

I couldn't exactly figure out how to word it but I take prozac and the bottle says fluoxetine but under 1 it says Mfg PAR and under the other it saysMfg EON.
Is there a difference and what does it mean?

Answer 1

Fluoxetine is the generic drug name for the brand name Prozac. The Mfg PAR means it is manufactured by Pharmaceutical Inc. The Mfg EON means it is manufactured by EON Laboratories Manufacturing Inc. Hope this helps!

Answer 2

Fluoxetine is the same thing as Prozac....the first is the chemical name, the second is the trademark name. I think the PAR/EON stuff is just refering to the manufacturer (?)

.....only one company can use the name "Prozac", but once a formula goes generic, many companies can manufacture the equivalent and offer it for a better price. Fluoxetine is the generic version of Prozac.

Answer 3

fluoxetine is the main ingredient in prozac. and the mfg par and mfg eon are just different manufacturing companies.

Answer 4

I think you can get a PDR (Physicians Desk Reference) on your computer.....It list's Product Name,Generic Name, and Chemical Name..It also lists all information on the drug...A lot of good information........
