Appendix. Common Proprietary Equivalents of Drugs Mentioned in the Text In the majority of instances, the official names of drugs have been employed throughout the text. However, in practice the urologist will frequently come across drugs under their proprietary names, and their true nature may not be immediately apparent. In order to facilitate identification of the corresponding official names, the most commonly encountered proprietary names of the drugs mentioned in this book, together with their official equivalents, are listed.
