"look-a-like" drugs
lijekovi sličnog imena/naziva


Explanation:
Nema službenog prijevoda, tako da predlažem ovo deskriptivno rješenje. Izraz "Look-a-like drugs" (i "Sound-a-like drugs") drugs odnosi se na lijekove koji imaju sličan naziv, ali različito djelovanje i mohu biti uzrok opasnih zabuna u liječenju.

Pozdrav!

Example sentence(s):
  • What are sound-alike and look-alike drugs? Some proprietary (brand name) and non-proprietary names (generic name) sound or appear to be similar to other drugs when written or spoken.
  • Kad uzimate taj lijek u ljekarni, još se jednom raspitajte o lijeku i njegovoj namjeni te provjerite je li riječ o istom lijeku, kako biste izbjegli mogućnost zamjenjivanja lijeka (postoje lijekovi sličnog imena, a različitog djelovanja).
