Which of the following drugs are listed by the ISMP as "easily confused with each other"?
AcetaZOLAMIDE and acetoHEXAMIDE
Adderall and Advair
ALPRAZolam and Apresoline
Avandia and AVINza
AcetaZOLAMIDE and acetoHEXAMIDE
Rationale: The ISMP lists acetaZOLAMIDE and acetoHEXAMIDE as "easily confused with each other". In an example of confusing these two drugs, acetohexamide (an oral hypoglycemic agent) was administered instead of acetazolamide (used to treat glaucoma), resulting in a systemic hypoglycemic reaction and hospitalization of the patient. The other answer choices are not listed as drugs easily confused with each other.
