Medical

Module to generate plausible medical and healthcare related entries.

Overview

Generate plausible, non-clinical healthcare data for tests, demos, and fixtures: specialties, hospital departments, conditions, symptoms, procedures, allergens, blood types, and fictitious drug names.

All values are intentionally generic or invented. Real diagnosis codes (e.g. ICD-10), real medicine names, and correlated patient records are deliberately out of scope — this data must never be used for clinical purposes.

drugName

Returns a fictitious, brand-style drug name.

All values are invented: they were generated from neutral morphemes and screened against real brand names, WHO INN generic names, and INN class stems (e.g. -statin, -pril), so they do not resolve to real medicines.

Returns: string

function drugName(): string;

Examples

faker.medical.drugName() // 'Zolpraxen'
