Pharmacology education mainly teaches the mechanisms of action of medical drugs used to treat various diseases. Everyone wants to live a long and healthy life, and students are interested in what they learn in university classes. Ultimately, however, it is a difficult task to have them remember many generic names of drugs. The two things I recommend to students to memorize are 1) to say it out loud and 2) to know the origin of the name. Just like each of us has a name, all medicines have a godfather, and even the dry, katakana-filled generic names have meaning. In addition, medicines were born through the wisdom and efforts of our predecessors. And above all, remembering the name of a drug with memorable episodes can create a memory that is hard to forget and easy to recall. In this lecture, I would like to introduce practical examples that I have been doing in my university classes in order to motivate students to learn about pharmacology.
