I’m just imagining a room full of people coming up with dozens of random jingles using random letters that almost sound like English before shipping it off to marketing to sell as the “next big drug”

The USAN (United States Adopted Name) Council comes up with the drug names. They’re an independent group who assigns nonproprietary names to new drugs.
Drug companies can give their drug a brand name (like “Zyrtec”) but the USAN Council decides the universal name (like “Cetirizine”) first.
generic names are hardly going to come up in a jingled commercial
If you’re feeling down try sertraline
You’ll feel less depressed than you have been
Disclaimer: Not all people will feel less depressed on sertraline. Avoid taking sertraline if you are allergic to sertraline. Some users report diarrhea, constipation, vomiting blood, kidney failure, dropping property values, itchy feet, or spontaneous suicide. Less than 1% of users report developing a condition known as “wandering eyeball”.
Ask your doctor if sertraline is right for you.
(This was not intended to poke fun at people taking SSRIs. It’s just the first generic name that came to mind. Keep taking your meds if they’re helping and hold your head high, friend!)
