MrsD and others have been collecting/colating that kind of info here on NT for some time. I can't say for sure, but non-recognition may be due to cases of generic vs. brand names (of which there can be several) for the same meds. It can be/get confusing for anyone.

One convention is to begin brand (patented) names with capital (upper case) letters and generic names with lower case, e.g. Neurontin (gabapentin), Lyrica (pregabalin).
