How do you make Pharma easier to remember?

Updated:   Published

I am having a hard time on remembering how to memorize medications, their brand and generic name and what they're for. Does anyone know an easier way to memorize these meds?

Someone help.

As a pharmacy technician, I learned it the old fashioned way: flash cards. If it doesn't work, the best way is to remember the therapeutic class and it's suffix. for example: benzodiazepines= end in "pams", fluroquinolones end in "floxin" and so on. Study each group of drugs per day, rewritting it over and over (a page) should do the trick.. good luck

Do not memorize, but rather take the time to understand what they are used for and why. Things will then fall into place for you.

The exam knows that you have been tested over and over again on the meds in school, now they want to know what you are going to do with the information.

If you prepare this way for everything, you will find things much easier for you.
