	As a pharmacist my comments: for Effexor (which is spelled Efexor, at least in NZ where I'm from...) the drug is Venlafaxine, not Venlafaxine ER, the ER just stands for Extended Release (which is also what XR stands for) and is talking about the vehicle, not the drug. Same goes for Toprol XL. requiring citrate on the end of sildenafil is rather pedantic, as the drug is the sildenafil, citrate refers to the specific salt. Might as well require Amlodipine besylate for Norvasc (or is it the mesylate salt, I forget, we've had both recently). Similar comment to your Cardura answer: no consistency there.

	Ok looked a little further.... Penicillin V is the drug, the K refers to the potassium salt (which is irrelevant). You could probably accept insulin, or lispro for humalog as anyone typing those clearly knows what it is.

	As a pharmacy student, I have to agree with ganashal. Please remove the salts.

	There are a few misspelled generic drugs in this quiz (i.e. mirtazapine not mirtazepine, bisoprolol not bisoprodol). Please double check that everything is spelled correctly before you finalize anything.

	Sorry for any misspellings, etc. I'll try to fix them soon. Actually, I did double-check everything before I finalized it. I took the names straight from my pharmacy technician study guide; I created these solely as a self-study aid before I took the PTCE. I included the salts because that's the way the names of the drugs were written in the book. I actually just took a hospital-specific pharm tech entrance exam and they included the salts for several there, too. I just include them when my book and/or study guides give them. As long as the people who could potentially give me a job are asking me to include the salts when I learn them, I will leave them as is. I realize the salts are not there for every drug, but I'm not about to go look up every single salt and rework the quiz just so it's "consistent". As I said, I made this for a personal study guide; I am not a walking drug reference, nor am I writing a textbook. I am a tech and a prepharm. student trying to find a quick & easy way to study the material I've been informed I need to know, so take it easy.
