No. The database structure is such that you can have an arbitrary name for any
drug.
A drug is identified by a unique ID. Drug names are referenced via
many-to-many relationships with such drug IDs.
This allows not only for synonyms, but also for translations.
Names can have a "country" attribute, ensuring that whatever
language/system/country setting you chose, you get what you are used to and
what you can reasonably expect
