drug-etymology

Find the etymological roots of generic drug names based on the INN stem list

https://edridgedsouza.github.io/drug-etymology/

Example use:

drug-etymology

Caveat: these are not perfectly accurate. For instance, "penicillin" is marked as an NO2 derivative because of the -ni- substring, and "estradiol" is marked as an iodine containing compound because of the -io- substring. This is not meant to be a definitive list but a best guess based on the published INN guide.

Credit to the INN stem list for all roots and definitions, to the WHO 2021 Essential Medicine list, to the Wikipedia mAb nomenclature and mAb list under the creative commons license, and to the developers of pscript and W3Schools because I would rather not learn (too much) JavaScript if I can help it.
