Any opinions on the best pharmacology review flashcards on the market??

I guess what is most important to me is clear organization of cards, clarity (no bs junk details that I could read about in my text), readability and formatted in a way to quickly tap memory w/o having to read full sentences on the cards?

I guess I could just make them myself....but just wanted to get some opinions from the seasoned vets (ie M2+)

Thanks in advance

I think that BRS Pharmacology flashcards might fit the bill. I'd at least check them out. Good luck

I bought the lange pharmacology cards. I thought they were a nice medium between the other two sets of cards available at my bookstore. The BRS cards I thought were too simplistic. They only had one or two facts per card, not much to study from, but probably makes a good review if you're using another source to do most of your pharm studying. The Lippincott pharmcards on the other hand were too detailed for my liking. They literally crammed tons and tons of information into each card, so much that I wasn't going to delude myself that I could ever learn that much. The lange cards were I thought a happy medium between the two. They do present information in sentence form, but it is fairly succinct. If sentences aren't your thing, they do boldface the high yelid facts so you could limit your studying to just those. Also, the thing I liked the most about it was that they have a clinical case on each card, so you get used to the key words and symptoms you should be looking for in a question to think of a specific drug. I think that's what made these cards most appealing, since the board questions I've seen so far have been like "Patient presents with blah blah blah. What is the mechanism of the drug that would be used to treat this?" and less of "What is the mechanism of action of penicillin?"

Thanks a lot for the advice....I decided to go w/ the Lange even though I originally preferred the brevity of the brs cards.....very happy w/ my decision so far....here's hoping that their micro cards are just as good (just ordered those online)
