some of it is plain old marketing; some of it is regulatory.,…..

say you have medicine1. in the usa medicine1 is approved for A/B/C/D however in the euripean union medicine1 is only approved for a/b/d

this might confuse (rightfully) confuse or anger people…..if the EU says medicine1 doesnt do C; why does the USA say that it does?!?!?!?!

the easy solution is to change the name of the drug; same drug; different name; different list of approved uses…..no controversy…..because people wont look beyond the name
