Medication Misnomers

Here are a few mispronunciations for relatively common medications :
Coudamin = Coumadin
Fonisopril = Fosinopril
Panatol = Patanol
Fenofexadine = Fexofenadine
All of these are understandable and believable. If you’re not in the business, who can tell the difference?
But how about Splenda? A customer asked for a refill of Splenda. They meant Plendil. That one’s pretty good, I think.
