Answer to Question 2

B
A medication trade name or brand name is used to market the medication. The trade name has the symbol at the upper right of the name, indicating a manufacturer's trademark for the name (e.g., Panadol, Tempra, Tylenol). The chemical name describes the medication's composition and molecular structure, such as N-acetyl-para-aminophenol, commonly known as Tylenol. The chemical name rarely is used in clinical practice. A manufacturer who first develops a medication gives the generic name of a medication. Acetaminophen is the generic name for Tylenol. The generic name is the official name that is listed in official publications such as the United States Pharmacopeia (USP). The USP is a drug book that lists all drugs by generic name.
