Abstract
ent from the international non-proprietary name.On the other hand, the World Health Organisation cannot impose on these countries a name that they consider to be unacceptable.The most logical solution would be to set up bilateral discussions between the organisation's experts and the national nomenclature committees with a view to the adoption of a single non- proprietary name for those drugs for which discrepancies exist.
