Butidrine
Butidrine (pronounced: /bjuːˈtɪdrɪn/) is a pharmaceutical drug used in the treatment of various medical conditions.
Etymology
The term "Butidrine" is derived from the chemical structure of the drug, which includes a butyl group and a hydrazine group. The "-drine" suffix is commonly used in the names of drugs that act as stimulants or bronchodilators.
Usage
