Levofloxacin is sold under the brand Floxel by which supplier?

• A. Westmont
• B. UAP
• C. GSK
• D. Pfizer

Answer: (B)

Drug brand names vary by country and manufacturer, even when the active ingredient is the same. Floxel is the trade name used for levofloxacin by the supplier UAP. That association makes UAP the correct source for Floxel in this context. The other companies—Westmont, GSK, and Pfizer—do market antibiotics, but Floxel isn’t their brand for levofloxacin in this market. If you’re ever unsure, verify on the product label or the national drug registry to see which company markets that brand name.
