It's Zithromax, not Zinthromax. Or Azithromycin. Also.. it's impossible that Vicodin is more commonly prescribed than Tylenol, Ibuprofin, Aspirin, etc. If those are disqualified because they are also available over-the-counter, then I'd still be surprised to see Vicodin higher than Hydrocodone or Oxycotin. but I'm sure Tyenol/Ibuprofin is number one.

follow-up.. actually Vicodin is just branded hydrocodone with acetaminophen.. both of which I tried but those answers were not accepted. You should change the description to reflect that the quiz is only about branded drugs. ibuprofen and hydrocodone are generics so they are not in the article you linked, but the quiz doesn't specify that it's only branded drugs.

Presumably this is based on USA market, which I feel should be made clear as the names of some of the drugs are unknown in other countries.

Agreed I didnt know any of these, only is available here I think. All the others I have only heard about two in movies/documentaries. ( not claiming that I have heard of all the drugs that are out there, but only recognising 2/20. AND for the supposed most used ones... you would think I would atleast know several, especially after seeing the answers you d expect to recognise more than half)

It did accept Warfarin sodium (the full name), but I changed it to just warfarin since that's more commonly used. Plus -- I added the other brand names for it -- Jantoven, Marevan, and Uniwarfin.

Agreed. The clues are way too general. For example, furosemide and HCTZ are diuretics used to treat CHF, more specifically than just blood pressure. Beta blockers are used for blood pressure but also heart rate control. Also, the OTC versus prescription is inconsistent. Prilosec is over the counter and on this list; yet Tylenol and Ibuprofen are not on the list and consumed far more frequently than Vicodin.

This quiz is ridiculous for the reasons given by others. It's a mixture of official names and trade names (mostly the latter). You shouldn't be advertising on this site IMO. And it's US-centric!

Trade names in stead of the generic drugs. It didn't even accept metformin lmao. And US centric as well
