POCA -Phonetic Orthographic Computer Algorithm

POCA is a software that produces a data set used internally to assess the safety, and feasibility of proposed proprietary drug names. FDA product name safety evaluators have access to an internal version of the POCA system behind the FDA firewall. Source code to develop external non-FDA instances of POCA are available at http://www.fda.gov/Drugs/ResourcesForYou/Industry/ucm400127.htm
