First, there is a single standards name, which is risankizumab for Skyrizi. That name stays the same regardless of what companies make or market the drug.

"Skyrizi" is a brand name, chosen by some marketing folks at AbbVie. They could decide to market it under another brand name. Once it is off-patent and other companies market it also, they will choose their own brand names.

Accent always on the second syllable. Lots of x, y and z.

...that has a name with no English-language equivalent. Especially with all those damn side-effects. If I wanted to commit suicide or get sicker than hell, there are better ways to do it.

may be complex, but are less readily confused with the silly commercial (brand) names chosen that often sound like others.

It is abysmal and a lot of preventable drug mistakes occur as a result.

does this happen only in America?

That Wegovi commercial! Incredibly annoying as "average Joe" after "average Jane" join a parade so the can extoll the virtues and then form a human font to spell the name.
Nauseating.
I watch a lot of Food Network and these drug ads there are a constant annoyance.
