Dr. Maxwell has given Julie a prescription for Xanax. The pharmacist instructs the technician, Marcos, to give Julie the generic alternative for Xanax to save her some money. Marcos fills the prescription using Lorazepam. What mistake has been made?

There is no generic alternative to Xanax.
Clonazepam is the generic version of Xanax.
Alprazolam is the generic version of Xanax.
Flurazepam is the generic version of Xanax.

Explanation

Answer: C - The correct generic alternative to Xanax is alprazolam. The Lorazepam that was dispensed is the generic name of Ativan. One must be careful when dispensing generics as many drugs in the same class have similar sounding names.
