Please help with pharmacology suffixes!


Hi Everyone! I am wondering if anyone knew of a resource that would help me learn the suffixes for pharmacology. I thought I came across a chart studyguide that somone posted but I can't seem to find that exact post. Or if anyone else has any other suggestions for recognizing the names of drugs. Thank you

They should be in Taber's--if not in the general listings, then in the appendix under "Prefixes, Suffixes and Combining Forms". Try looking on Global RpH http://www.globalrph.com/. Suffixes qualify as medical terminology. An online pharmacology textbook glossary that allows student access may have them. Try searching on the websites listed on this sticky: http://allnurses.com/forums/f205/nursing-documentation-168921.html - Nursing Documentation

Default Re: Please help with pharmacology suffixes!
Thank you very much, those sites are going to be a great help. Just one more question..Do you of any charts or study guides that give clues for drug names? For example: caine= local anesthetics (Lidocaine)
cillin= antibiotics (Penicillin)

dine= anti-ulcer agents (Pantamadine)
Thanks again!

Unfortunately, I do not. Try looking for a glossary in a pharmacology book in the library somewhere. I have never heard of a pharmacology class where these kinds of questions were asked.
