Les médicaments sont désignés par les trois types d'appellation suivants : un nom chimique dont la forme suit les règles de l'UICPA (Union internationale de chimie pure et appliquée), une dénomination commune internationale (DCI), nom proposé par l'OMS (Organisation mondiale de la santé) pour désigner la substance qui sert de principe actif dans une préparation pharmaceutique et pour servir de langage commun à l'ensemble des professionnels de la santé dans le monde entier, et enfin un nom commercial, donné par le fabricant. Il existe aussi des dénominations communes nationales, telles que les BAN (British Approved Name), nom que l'on pourrait traduire librement par «nom approuvé britannique», ou «dénomination commune britannique», les DCF (dénomination commune française), les JAN (Japanese Approved Name) et les USAN (United States Approved Name). La directive européenne 92/27/EEC a recommandé l'usage des DCI pour l'ensemble des pays de l'Union européenne. 2, record 3, French, - d%C3%A9nomination%20commune%20fran%C3%A7aise
