Try grouping the drugs by class and learning the adverse effects of a drug class instead of individual drugs. Also if you know how the drug works and what it treats then the inverse of that is often an adverse effect. For example, as a whole antihypertensive drugs can cause hypotension so adverse effects include headache, dizziness, fatigue, and lightheadedness. A dry cough and hyperkalemia are specific to ACE inhibitors. Beta-blockers affect heart rate, so adverse effects could also include bradycardia. Peripheral edema is a specific adverse effect of the CCBs along with all the adverse effects of hypotension. Also nausea and diarrhea are safe bets for adverse effects of most drugs. And you don't have to know dosage forms for the exam.
@@Trsshpandasa7867 It doesn't look like it, but you could expect similar calculations in the outpatient setting when working with suspensions or injectables. Just make sure you have dimensional analysis down and you'll be fine!
No, just whether a drug is controlled or not. But it wouldn’t hurt to know which ones are C2. Take a look at the list in the description to see the schedule drugs grouped together.
@@Trsshpandasa7867 Definitely! I would recommend you learn the top 200 by class and stem instead of rote or brute memorization. Stems are similar in a lot of the drugs in the same class so you can group them into chunks that are more manageable to memorize. The top 200 are sorted by class/color in the spreadsheet. There's another list of the most common stems according to their class. Hope that helps!

@@ungerpharmacy Ahh ok is it just me or does this ptcb not have any flow rates included in the outline?

My exam is today, so nervous!
Good luck!

No, just whether a drug is controlled or not. But it wouldn’t hurt to know which ones are C2. Take a look at the list in the description to see the schedule drugs grouped together.
@@ungerpharmacy Ohh right another questin do you think its helpful the top 200 drugs by the stem words? since most stem words are the same!
