Pharm, help!!!

Hello,

Does anyone have any study tips for pharmacology? please help!

Thanks in advance,

Shavon Cook

I just finished pharm 2 a couple of weeks ago and got an A (yay!!)!! In addition to writing everything a million times...

We studied drugs by system (more or less) so I got some of the really big flash cards and had the following cards for each system as we covered it: Major Interactions, Major Toxicities or Side Effects, Black Box Warnings, and then a generic "I totally know they are going to test on this" card. On the other side I listed the drug name and briefly (just a few words) jotted things down to trigger my memory for each type of card. I never listed things like diarrhea as a side effect, but tried to stick to the things that made a drug different.

I basically just had a running list going as the semester progressed and it was REALLY nice to have the high points listed this way for my comprehensive final. Hope this helps!

To whom it may concern:

Reading this thread and notgivingup1's willingness to share his/her materials has prompted me to follow suit and post my pharm flashcards for public consumption.

You can see them in the thread:
