Final answer:

To have the brand name listed on a prescription, you should specify the trade or brand name. Instructions for writing compound names, as provided, do not apply to brand name prescriptions, which usually require 'Dispense as Written' or 'Brand Medically Necessary' to ensure the brand name medication is issued.

Step-by-step explanation:

If you want the brand name listed on a prescription, you should include the trade or brand name of the drug rather than its generic name. In some cases, healthcare providers may write "Dispense as Written" (DAW) or "Brand Medically Necessary" to ensure the brand name medication is dispensed.

In the context provided, however, it appears that the instructions pertain more to the chemical naming of compounds, where substituent groups and parent names are used. This process does not typically apply to the naming of pharmaceuticals on a prescription. Prescriptions for drugs usually require specific information including patient's name, date, the medication's name, dosage, route of administration, and quantity to dispense.

For clarity, the process described refers to systemic chemical nomenclature, which is different from pharmaceutical brand naming. When discussing pharmaceuticals, direct reference to the desired brand name on the prescription is the standard practice for ensuring that specific brand's dispensation.
