Drug Warning Label Quiz

Via BB, I think, a quiz on nasty side effects of drugs.

Ten drugs, ten possible side effects. Match them up.

For the record, I got 6/10.

I'm curious to see how any Pharmacy students do. Or, for that matter, anyone who lives with a Pharmacy student.

I don't think that link to the quiz works. Either that or my computer is just that slow. Hm.

The link should be fixed now. If it's not, try the BoingBoing link and see where you get.

Sorry!

10/10, but some of the root words are familiar and I learned to read around medical books.

Accutane was a guess, since I'd filled in the rest, it was the only one left. I had no idea what it was.

Which ones did you miss? I wonder if it's an effect of what media you consume and therefore what ads you see.

Offhand I think I missed Accutane, Alli, Topamax, and maybe Plaxil...I don't pay any attention whatsoever to drug ads, at least not consciously, so I was kind of surprised that I even got 6 correct.

4/10
Ouch.

S'ok. I got some feedback from a PharmD student and he got 8/10. He blamed Accutane.
