All of the choices are true. Because many of our patients are being treated with drugs, knowledge of pharma
l l l l l l l l l l l l l l l l l l
cology helps in understanding and interpreting patients’ responses to health history questions. Knowledge
l l l l l l l l l l l l l
of the therapeutic and adverse effects of medications obviously helps in their proper administration in the of
l l l l l l l l l l l l l l l l
fice. Emergency situations may be caused by drugs or treated by drugs; thus, knowledge of pharmacology is
l l l l l l l l l l l l l l l l
of great help, especially because a rapid response is sometimes required. A clear understanding of the conce
l l l l l l l l l l l l l l l l l
pts of drug action, drug handling by the body, and drug interactions will allow the dental practitioner to mak
l l l l l l l l l l l l l l l l l l

l l l l l l l l l l
a. Brand name l
b. Code name l
c. Generic name l
d. Trade name l
ANS: C l
Before any drug is marketed, it is given a generic name that becomes the ―official‖ name of the drug. Each dr
l l l l l l l l l l l l l l l l l l l l
ug is assigned only one generic name selected by the U.S. Adopted Name Council, and the name is not capita
l l l l l l l l l l l l l l l l l l l
lized. The brand name is equivalent to the trade name and is capitalized. Although the brand name is technic
l l l l l l l l l l l l l l l l l l
ally the name of the company marketing the product, this term is often used interchangeably with the trade na
l l l l l l l l l l l l l l l l l l
me. The code name is the initial term used within a pharmaceutical company to refer to a drug while it is unde

l l l l l l l l l l l l
a. A drug may only have one generic name and one trade name.
l l l l l l l l l l l

l l l l l l l l l l
ANS: B l
Each drug has only one generic name but may have several trade names. For each drug, there is only one gene
l l l l l l l l l l l l l l l l l l l l
ric name. It is not capitalized, and it becomes the ―official‖ name of the drug. The pharmaceutical company d
l l l l l l l l l l l l l l l l l l
iscovering the drug gives the drug a trade name. The trade name is protected by the Federal Patent Law for 20
l l l l l l l l l l l l l l l l l l l l l
years from the earliest claimed filing date, plus patent term extensions. Although the brand name is technical
l l l l l l l l l l l l l l l l

peutically equivalent are said to differ in l l l l l l
a. potency.
b. efficacy.
c. bioavailability.
d. therapeutic index. l
ANS: C l
A preparation can be chemically equivalent yet not biologically or therapeutically equivalent. These produ
l l l l l l l l l l l l l
cts are said to differ in their bioavailability. The potency of a drug is a function of the amount of drug required
l l l l l l l l l l l l l l l l l l l l l l
to produce an effect. The efficacy is the maximum intensity of effect or response that can be produced by a dr
l l l l l l l l l l l l l l l l l l l l
ug. The therapeutic index is the ratio of the lethal dose for 50% of the experimental animals divided by the eff
l l l l l l l l l l l l l l l l l l l l
ective dose for 50% of the experimental animals. If the value of the therapeutic index is small, toxicity is mor
l l l l l l l l l l l l l l l l l l l
e likely.

a. 20 years l
b. 17 years l
c. 7 years l
d. 0 years l
ANS: D l
Once a drug patent expires, competing companies may immediately market the same compound in generic
l l l l l l l l l l l l l l l
form. The pharmaceutical company discovering the drug gives the drug a trade name. The trade name is prot
l l l l l l l l l l l l l l l l l
