British Approved Name

A British Approved Name (BAN) is the official, non-proprietary, or generic name given to a pharmaceutical substance, as defined in the British Pharmacopoeia (BP).^[1] The BAN is also the official name used in some countries around the world, because starting in 1953, proposed new names were evaluated by a panel of experts from WHO in conjunction with the BP commission to ensure naming consistency worldwide^[2] (an effort leading to the International Nonproprietary Name system). There is also a British Approved Name (Modified) (BANM).^[3]
