Hello

It is nice to know I am not alone. With the meds I use the the odd man out and I understood the meaning of side effect and adverse effect. The odd man out is where you group things together for example: Celebrex how you know if it is working 1. bloading 2. constipation 3. joint stiffness 4. heartburn look at each choice and you can see that 3 choices relate to GI system so the other must be the answer 3. Hope this help. Also look at the ending of the med like pril - ace inhibitor = decrease BP. You can pm me if you like.

My 2 cents here is a tip from my fabulous pharmacology prof. He belabored the point of knowing how the drug works. If you know what the ACE is, then you know what it's inhibiting, and why it has such side effects. Once you know its actions, side effects, and profiles, then you can worry about the names.

Good luck but one of the tips I learned on this site, is that knowing the classes of drugs and what I mention above should be enough or they wouldn't keep such thick drug books around the nurse's stations.

Hello sushine500

You have to finish the first tip first before pm her that information or she will not send it very strict that you finish the first tip and she sends out an email only every 2 weeks because she works 48 plus hrs this is a side job for her.

Hi Silverdragon102

Shouldn't be a problem, probably better cos then you can take time and not rush. Send her a pm once ready and give her chance to answer, she is usually busy with work but does answer pms as soon as she can
