Answer to Question 1

The chemical name is usually the formula that denotes the composition of the drug. It is made up of letters and numbers that represent the drug's molecular structure. The generic name is the drug's official name and is descriptive of its chemical structure. It is written in lowercase letters and can be manufactured by more than one pharmaceutical company. The trade or brand name is registered by the U.S. Patent Office as well as approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA). A trade or brand name is capitalized.
