ISMP List of Look-Alike Drug Names with Recommended Tall Man (Mixed Case) Letters contains drug name pairs or larger groupings with recommended, bolded uppercase letters to help draw attention to the dissimilarities in look-alike drug names. The list includes mostly generic-generic drug names, although a few brand-brand or brand-generic names are included.
