Etymology

Navane is a brand name for the antipsychotic drug thiothixene, chosen by the maker as a product name rather than coming from an old language root. A helpful way to remember Navane is to think of 'nav' like in navigate, which means 'to steer' or 'find a course', because the drug helps people with schizophrenia find a steadier mental 'course'.
