	"High blood pressure" should be a valid answer for Norvasc.

	Tylenol/advil is used for pain in general, not just headache; also nexium is for gastrointestinal disorders in general, but on the commercials (which is where most people learn about drugs, at least I hope they aren't on as many meds as I am) it's for acid reflux. I don't know if you want to put this in as an alternate for flonase, etc, but nasal allergies (perhaps allergies in general, that's why I don't know if you'd want to) is another common use for flonase. I'm not a pharmacist or doctor, but I do take lots of meds, cuz I'm sick. That's why I spend so much time on Sporcle!

	Rhinitis should be accepted for Nasonex!!

	Justin:	Nov 8th, 2008 at 05:46 GMT	6 points
	I agree with all 3 of these posters. In fact, I typed in High Blood Pressure, Acid Reflux, and Rhinitis and none were accepted

	How bout some more medical quizzes? Perhaps the muscles/ bones of the human body or something with diseases? That would be awesome!

	Lipitor/Zocor/Vytorin are used for hyperlipidemia or dyslipidemia to lower LDL levels, lower triglycerides, and raise HDL levels. Hyperlipidemia and dyslipidemia should be acceptable answers. Nexium is used for gastroesophageal reflux disorder (GERD) as well. Plavix is used as an antiplatelet agent in the secondary prevention of myocardial infarction. Tylenol is also our preferred agent for the treatment of general aches and pains. While these medications do have the indications listed above, it should be acceptable to give the preferred medical terminology for each of them.

	very poor acceptance of answers....wouldn't accept analgesic/fever/pain for tylenol...antiplatlet for plavix..."heart disease"???? Who wrote this quiz, because it definitely wasn't someone in the medical profession...probably someone who reads pharmaceutical advertisements in lay magazines only

	Bring on the bones of the body!

	sevorak:	Nov 27th, 2008 at 00:06 GMT	3 points
	To echo the previous posters, pain or analgesic should be accepted for tylenol/advil.

	burplefus:	Dec 5th, 2008 at 03:51 GMT	7 points
	This needs to either be all lay terms or all medical terms.

	gumball:	Jan 13th, 2009 at 07:23 GMT	5 points
	very poor answer acceptances.

	drhaase:	Jan 13th, 2009 at 07:47 GMT	3 points
	5/14...and i've seen commercials for most if not all of these...yet i have no clue what most of them are for

	Nuclear_Knuckles:	Jan 24th, 2009 at 09:08 GMT	3 points
	It's probably a little too easy to just guess random medical problems that people take medication for, even if you're not sure exactly what each drug is for.

	this may be the worst quiz sporcle has ever done.

	sameasiteverwas:	Feb 27th, 2009 at 05:01 GMT	1 point
	hahahahahahahahahaha how in the hell did i get all of those

	Ben Addlestone:	Mar 19th, 2009 at 22:34 GMT	4 points
	Not a great quiz - range of answers is too specific. anAemia - for those in the rest of the world - please add to the dictionary!

	milkmeister:	Mar 25th, 2009 at 06:37 GMT	3 points
	Yes agree about anaemia. Erection problems might be a nice alternative for erectile dysfunction. In the quiz I mean, not in real life :-)

	You should accept anaemia. I'm really cut up about this.

	Greg:	May 28th, 2009 at 09:40 GMT	3 points
	It made me so happy to type in "fatness" and have an answer pop up.

	Narayana:	May 30th, 2009 at 09:15 GMT	2 points
	Nasal allergies should be accepted for Flonase/Nasonex/Rhinocort - that's what the drug is for, and I imagine that most people with a prescription use it for that.

	Woopee:	May 30th, 2009 at 21:14 GMT	3 points
	It's amazing how balding, hair regrowth, and other things don't work when hair loss does. Does balding not mean hair loss anymore??

	Plavix is a blood thinner, first and foremost. It does nothing for the progression of heart disease.

	msantos1116:	Jun 20th, 2009 at 06:34 GMT	1 point
	This is stupid. I typed erectile disfunction and then erectile dysfunction. I typed "pain" and got nothing. These quizzes need to recognize more keywords and alternate spellings, or even misspellings. STUPID. There needs to be way more "hits" like they have in family feud. If this was family feud, and you said "pain reduction" or even "pain", then tylenol/advil would have counted. I rarely have headaches, but still take ibuprofen if I need it. Understandably, sporcle is still new. Hopefully they will get better at this.

	QuizKingJon:	Jun 21st, 2009 at 21:38 GMT	0 points
	Anaemia should be accepted as well (English spelling). And yes, the balding one is weird.

	Julie:	Jul 7th, 2009 at 05:25 GMT	3 points
	tried high cholesterol, lowering cholesterol, and just about everything except just cholesterol.

	since im not a med student. im glad i only know a few of these.

	gamer2000:	Aug 15th, 2009 at 11:31 GMT	5 points
	you accepted baldness and limp di*k (I forgot the words for E.D.) but not "crazy" and "can't sleep". Suppose this is correct, I agree with the protestors this quiz was too specific. Still I laughed so hard when you accepted Limp...d... for #1.

	snowman888:	Sep 7th, 2009 at 03:16 GMT	2 points
	WORST QUIZ EVER!!!! Erectile Dysfunction? Hypertension? Gastrointestinal disorders? I could only get Headache and Allergies. POOR Acceptance.

	icing:	Oct 15th, 2009 at 06:22 GMT	1 point
	Gamer2000 - I laughed out loud at your comment!! I liked this quiz a lot! Wish you had accepted arterial plaque or something more specific for Plavix ... "heart disease" could potentially be treated with several of these drugs.
