medicamento : La Fundación del Español Urgente(Fundéu BBVA), con el asesoramiento de la Real Academia Española, indica que «los nombres de los principios activos de las medicinas, es decir, el medicamento propiamente dicho, son comunes y se escriben con minúscula inicial»; en cambio, «los nombres comerciales registrados de los medicamentos, al igual que sucede con las marcas, son nombres propios y deben escribirse con mayúscula inicial». En ninguno de estos dos casos son necesarias las comillas o la cursiva. […] También se escriben en minúscula las marcas que han dejado de funcionar como tales y que ya se emplean con valor genérico, como curitas o tiritas para los apósitos adhesivos y aspirina para el ácido acetilsalicílico. Por otra parte, se recomienda mantener la mayúscula de la marca comercial cuando se hace referencia a las cápsulas, grageas, porciones o dosis del medicamento con ese nombre propio : un Nolotil. 5, record 2, Spanish, - medicamento
