Many medical, nursing, and pharmacy students think that it is really difficult to remember all the drugs so they say, just memorize whatever you can. There is a way or a "hack" to remember all the 200 drugs. You can do this by grouping them basedon their use, the organs or systems they affect, knowing the most commonly used prefixes, roots, and suffixes used in generic names of drugs. What do I mean by that?Here's an example: -al, a common suffix for drugs like tadalafil (Brand Name: Cialis) and sildenal (Brand Name: Viagra). These drugs fall under the category PDE inhibitor or phosphodiesterase inhibitor. These are drugs that are used for erectiledysfunction or ED. Another example is -sone, a suffix for a drug called fluticasone. Fluticasone is a corticosteroid. Corticosteroids are anti-inflammatory drugs so, it is safe to make the educated guess during a test that drugs that end in -sone (applies to generic names only) are steroids. Barbiturates, group of drugs used as anesthetics or antiepileptics, have the root -barb. Examples of these drugs are: phenobarbital and secobarbital. The suffix -olol is used for beta blockers. Beta blockers are drugs used for hypertension. Another one would be -statin, atorvastatin and simvastatin are used to lower elevated cholesterol levels and these drugs are classified as antihyperlipidemics or HMG Co-enzyme A Reductase Inhibitor. Statins are used to lower elevated cholesterol levels in the blood.Yes, studying DRUGS can be gruesome. Students, more often than not, get overwhelmed by so much information given to them to study all at once. A lot of them give up due to information overload or anxiety that comes with seeing all the thick textbooks and materials that need to be covered, studied, understood and tested on. This is why I organized not just the Top 200 Drugs but, the Top 250 Drugs in this book for you by their class and I included the cheat codes in memorizing them easily.Students also told me that the list was no good since "the list doesn't talk to them" like I do during lectures and they do not know how to pronounce half the drugs on the list. Oh yeah, I hear you say that, too, "Yeah, it's a nice and handy list but, I do not know how to say or pronounce more than half of these drugs, if not all." You do not have to worry, I have made a compilation of my audio lectures from my live classes to go with this ebook so, MEMORIZING DRUGS CAN REALLY BE THIS RIDICULOUSLY EASY and the link is inside the book.Repetition is key to remembering anything. And by you carrying me, I mean, carrying this ebook with you everywhere you go, you can pull it out anytime, anywhere, for a quick study or review. I will be with you everywhere you go, I promise and because I really want you to succeed, I included a list of the Top 250 Drugs, instead of just the Top 200 Drugs. -Prof. Lohner
