    Put them in categories for what they do. Notice anything repetitive in their names? Notice anything in the names that gives you clues what they do? Then, start learning by category. Make some flash cards with names on front and purpose on back.

    Side effects are often "too much of a good thing". In other words, they intended effect is too big. For instance: benzodiazepines calm a person; a side effect is they can calm too much, slowing GI motility, breathing, and making sleepy.

    Remember...elimination method is almost always via kidneys, and metabolism is almost always via liver...

    Classifications, and the main drug in each classification is what I remembered the most about. Then, remember the other drugs in each clasification. If your class is taught that way, it'll be easier for you.

    Good luck!
