Mylan 752 - A Pill That Does Not Exist

Misspelling of a drug's name is sometimes caused by reasons different from spelling difficulties. Here is such an example. There are some people trying to find information on one of Mylan pills. They call it Mylan 752 pill, trying to search Google, or Yahoo Answers, or healthcare forums for it - all in vain. Just because Mylan Pharmaceuticals does not manufacture a pill indexed "Mylan 752" (though there is a pill indexed "M 752" - Fexofenadine Hydrochloride 30 mg, a generic for Allegra, but the word "Mylan" is not written or enchased on it). But there is a pill indexed "Mylan 152", and the first number in the index can be incorrectly taken for "7", especilly when the surface of the pill is damaged a little. Or, perhaps, when someone has sight problems and is not able to see the index properly. Mylan 152 is 0.1 mg Clonidine, it is used to treat hypertension. As for the so called "Mylan 752", it just does not exist. So far, at least.
