Best pharm/micro cards?

A couple of threads on it, but they seem to be a bit outdated and low on responses.

I am a flashcard junkie, so I went a bit overboard with this. For micro, I have Microcards (by Harpavat), and I like them because they give you a clinical case, presentation, pathophys, diagnosis and treatment. They also have study tips to help you integrate. Downside: it tells you what the bug is on both sides of the card, so it's not so much a flashcard as a note card. Overall though I like them.

For Pharm, I have Lange Pharmacology flash cards. They have a clinical case on one side, then the drug, mechanism, side effect on the other side. They info is great, but honestly it is difficult for me to remember random drug names, so now I have Pharmnemonics. They give you the MOA, clinical uses, and side effects. It's basically the same info as Lange, just presented in a more fun and memorable way (my favorite cards so far).

Anyone else use these cards, please share your experiences also!

I don't have Pharm cards, but Microcards: Review Cards for Medical Students are the absolute best resource for Micro! (same ones the previous poster said)

I agree that microcards were good, didn't use anything else though. For pharm I used Brenner (Lipincott) and they were fine. No clinical case, just drug on one side, info on the other. I think on Amazon you can "Look inside". See what you like!

I agree with previous posters - Lange Pharmacology cards and MicroCards. I learn best with vignettes, so I liked these. They've got a decent amount of detail on the back... I added a few notes from class, but by and large they were adequate.
