Ok? As stated, other comments already had exposed there was confusion.
> The name of the actual drug is even right there in the title (Selatogrel)
Many non-experts are aware of the general practice of drug companies patenting "repurposed drugs" or that the same medications are marketed under different names for different indications (eg Ozempic, Wegovy and Rybelsus are all the same medication).
I wouldn't expect most non-experts to immediately know that selatogrel is a generic and not a brand name, especially when it is being said in the same sentence as a brand name. It is quite forgivable to assume it might be an alternative trade name for an epi-pen.
