Come to think of it, I've seen one or two of these ones, too, and
totally forgot. Guess I'll be making rules for these as well...

Ok. This is looking a little better, then... I've taken your
suggestion, and added the possibilities of repeated characters and
substitutions for "I" into it..
/A(?:.A?DV[Iilj]|D.D?V[Iilj]|DV.V?[Iilj]|DV[Iilj].[Iilj]?)L/
The little bit of testing I threw at it looks good so far. I'll try it
with the actual prescription drug names, do a bit of testing, and share
my results. More suggestions for improving the regex are still welcome,
of course :)
