Learning about all the drugs in a pharmacy can be a tall order. Sometimes being a little silly about it can make the process easier. Something that comes up from time to time as people joke about drugs is how the names of the drugs can sound like the names of real people.

Application of this can be for developing short stories to help learn about the drugs or just for being comical with friends who appreciate the struggles of living the #pharmlife.

Almost all of the ones listed here were crowd-sourced from Twitter and Instagram. Special shout out to @AllisonRBond and @Freestylepharm1 on Twitter for being the catalyst for this one!
