Further to the EEC Directive 92/27/EEC which requires use of the Recommended
International Non-proprietary Name (rINN) for medicinal substances instead
of the British Approved Name (BAN) where they differ, I would like to
enquire whether other labs are changing the spellings of any of their
analytes. For example:
Cyclosporin becomes Ciclosporin
Adrenaline becomes Epinephrine
Noradrenaline becomes Norepinephrine
Oestradiol becomes Estradiol
Oestriol becomes Estriol
Phenobarbitone becomes Phenobarbital
Amphetamines becomes Amfetamine
