Viagra® is classified as which type of name?

Chemical name
Generic name
Official name
Trade name

The correct answer is: Trade name

Viagra® is classified as a trade name, which is a name given to a pharmaceutical drug by its manufacturer. Trade names are typically trademarked and are used for marketing purposes. This name is distinct from the chemical name, which describes the actual chemical structure of the drug, and the generic name, which is the official, non-brand name of the drug that is recognized universally. An official name may refer to names recognized in official pharmacopoeias but does not specifically apply to branded products like Viagra®. The use of trade names helps customers and healthcare professionals easily identify and distinguish between different medications in the marketplace. It's important to recognize that Viagra® refers specifically to the product produced by Pfizer, whereas the generic name for the active ingredient in the medication is sildenafil.
