Generating prescription drug brand names

This is a fun exercise I made for myself to generate hypothetical brand names for prescription drugs starting with a list of existing drug names and an LSTM (long short-term memory) neural net.

I have joked for a long time that brand names for prescription drugs are ridiculous, and increasingly seem like they were generated by some sort of AI. To test this idea, I trained a neural network to randomly generate "drug names" based on a list of existing Rx drug names, and the results were... pretty great. Below are my favorites. Ask your doctor about:

Ziara
Tinvero
Climea
Belinta
Gonvinen
Potalis
Relonair
Xyela
Keotonex
Nuvolen
Satalta
Privino
Vincara
Prolerta
Cardila

This was implemented in Python using the Keras package. The implementation was inspired by Jason Brownlee's neural net for generating text from Alice in Wonderland, found here.
