Scrabble anyone???
Which one of these words doesn't belong? NASACORT, TRESIBA, LYRICA, VIBERZI, PREVDGEM, XARALTO, TRIVAGO, GLUCERNA, TRULICITY. If you guessed Trivago you guessed correctly. Trivago is a hotel search site. All of the others are medicines. I have a theory about how they come up with names for newly invented medications. I suspect they toss a bunch of Scrabble tiles out on a table, making sure there are plenty of Xs and Zs, and just see what falls together. I actually think I could have been pretty good at making up names. Too bad this wasn't a career option when I started my work life. How about ZAMBARQU or PLAPYMOBUS?
