Etymology

Mavik is a brand name for the drug trandolapril, so it is a modern, made-up name rather than a word from old languages. A helpful way to remember Mavik is to think of it as a short, strong name that 'sounds like' 'mend', because it helps the heart by making blood vessels 'relax' and thus 'lowering blood pressure'.
