Which drug on the list has brand names Sublimaze and Duragesic?

• A. Alfentanil
• B. Hydrocodone
• C. Fentanyl
• D. Cocaine

Answer: (C)

Brand-name recognition is what this question tests: Sublimaze and Duragesic are both brand names for fentanyl, a powerful synthetic opioid. Sublimaze is the injectable form used during anesthesia to provide analgesia and sedation, while Duragesic is a transdermal patch that delivers fentanyl over time for chronic pain relief. Fentanyl is far more potent than many other opioids, which is why it’s used in controlled medical settings and requires careful dosing and monitoring. The other drugs listed don’t carry those brand names—alfentanil is marketed as Alfenta, hydrocodone under brands like Norco or Vicodin, and cocaine isn’t marketed with these names.
