CONT – Naming prescription
and over-the-counter drugs is
a painstaking process. Every
drug receives three distinct
names: the chemical name,
the generic (or nonproprietary)
name, and the brand (or
proprietary or trademark)
name. ... The generic name is
commonly used by health
care professionals and is
usually created when a new
drug is ready to be marketed.
Although the manufacturer or
sponsor of the drug has
exclusive right of manufacture
during the 17 years of the
drug's patent, it never owns
the generic name. ... In the
United States, the generic
name must first be approved
by the U.S. Adopted Name
(USAN) Council and then by
the World Health
Organization (WHO). ... After
approving the generic name,
the Council submits the name
to WHO, which has final
approval. ... After being
approved by WHO, the drug
is assigned an international
nonproprietary name. Source

DEF – dénomination
commune internationale :
Nom proposé par l'OMS
[Organisation mondiale de la
santé] pour désigner la
substance qui sert de principe
actif dans une préparation
pharmaceutique. Source

OBS – Le terme
«dénomination commune
internationale» et son
équivalent «international
nonproprietary name» sont
aussi attestés dans un
lexique de la compagnie
pharmaceutique Schering
Canada Inc. Source

INN international nonproprietary name


Explanation:
I am adding this comment for the sake of the ProZ glossary.

I have done a Google search, and simply cannot turn up any hits for "Common International Denomination" + "cid" I can't even turn up any hits for "Common International Denomination" + inn (you'd think someone would use "Common International denomination" as an explanation, if the term were at all viable).

I do get 4050 hits for dci + inn.

See, for instance:

INN-DCI - Traductor multilingue del nombre genérico de ... - Descifre abreviaturas, siglas, acrónimos más comúnmente usadas en el idioma inglés. ...
www.tribunamedica.com/tradufarma_frame.htm

This looks like an extremely useful resource, by the way!

For the many other examples of dci + inn, see:

Peer comments on this answer (and responses from the answerer)
agree  Marie-Hélène Hayles: Even more than 7 years later, there are only a few hundred hits for "common international denomination" or "international common denomination" - but there are references demonstrating that INN is the correct English term (see the reference section)

Reference information:
I came across this old question while looking for the English translation of the Italian "denominazione comune internazionale". Not convinced by the scarcity of hits for the literal translation, I dug further and came up with the following:
