Looking for tips for studying drugs

Hi all,

I am a block 1 student, and we are starting to get into the specific drugs. Do any of you have any tips for organizing and studying them. I am not sure where to begin. I just finished a chapter on drugs affecting the CNS and my head is swimming, so any ideas, what worked for you would be appreciated!!

Thanks in advance for your time.

honestly, I just simply broke drugs down by systems...and tried to see the endings and beginnings and how they all seemed to have the same endings in the same systems.

i am in a two year adn program and for our clinicals we are required to know the majority of information related to every drug our patient is taking. we are provided with these forms that help organize all the information. i tried to find an attach button but i may not be able to because this is a new account. if you can private message me i can mail you the document.

I personally do notecards. I put the drug name on one side and the information I need to know on the other side. Then I just do the notecards over and over until I know them by heart. I liked this method because I know them by heart and when I get to clinical I do not have to stop and think about the drugs, I can simply recall the knowledge I had memorized.

There are also several study aids and websites that offer pharm study products.

Hope this helps,
