Question 11 • VA_Pharmacology_A

Which of these are examples of generic names?

Answer
A
Celebrex®, Preventil®, and Vasotec®
B
celecoxib, albuterol, and enalapril
C
4-[5-(4-methylphenyl)-3-(trifluoromethyl) pyrazol-1-yl]benzenesulfonamide
D
0025-1515-01, 0025-1520-31

Explanation

Generic names identify a medication’s active ingredient rather than its brand or product code. Celecoxib, albuterol, and enalapril are generic drug names; Celebrex, Preventil, and Vasotec are brand names. The long chemical description is a chemical name, and the numbers are product identifiers.
