Our school does not have a pharm class. The content is worked into our lectures. Every test, pharmacology is clearly my weakest spot. I need to find a better way to learn it.
What is your favorite study book for pharm? I like the review and rationales books for classes. Has anyone used it for pharm?
Any ideas at all?? :)

I really like Mosby's Pharmacology Memory Notecards. It doesn't have a ton of drugs in it, but it covers all of your basics. It comes in a ringed booklet, and each page tears out. On the front is a silly picture to help you remember the name of the name of the drug and any especially pertinent information about it. The back side has the regular indications, contraindications, nursing interventions, etc. The only downside to the book is that it doesn't contain any dosages.
There is also a coloring book form that can be purchased.
