Drug Name Quiz

Welcome to the drug name quiz. Most medications are sold under one of two names: generic and brand. The generic name is assigned by the United States Adopted Numbers Council and is the same for all drugs. Brand names are developed by the companies that manufacture the drug and are capitalized over the generic name. For example, Motrin is a brand name for ibuprofen, while Advil is the brand-name for ibuprofen.
