Did Canada Just Name A Drug After RuPaul?
Aside from being the world's most famous drag queen, RuPaul Charles is also the queen of branding—her name's on CDs, books, posters, dolls, chocolate bars and now, it's even wound up on a Canadian allergy pill.
Mama Ru was alerted to her latest endorsement opportunity when a fan tweeted a snapshot of the medication to her Tuesday.
"They've named a drug after you in Canada," wrote user Pete Drodge. "You've made it baby!"
Not one to miss a beat, the Emmy Award-winning host quickly fired back two very important questions.
It wasn't long before RuPaul's Drag Race fans got in on the fun, rattling off their own queries about the product.

Eventually Drodge swept in to clear the air, noting that the drug is a new antihistamine.
While Rupall may not be affiliated with Ru (yet!), we'd love to see a line of RuPaul-inspired meds that could help us get to werk and serve up her special blend of charisma, uniqueness, nerve and talent.
