Medicines are named using a set of pieces meant to describe and differentiate.
So: set up a group of nonsense word-parts according to the familiar GURPS rocky, hot, ice, etc, then a similar list of non-repeating parts for next most important descriptor, and on down. EmRonMitFab, frex.
I have use the Japanese syllabary for this: RiRoReRaRu, KiKaKo- etc. Rokofubi frex.
