Hi🙂. i was just wondering if you guys (already in pharmacy school) go into biochemistry profoundly, cos i'm actually taking prepharmacy courses and i'm really not liking the whole idea of biochem. its not like a problem for me its just that i find it very complex (the cellular respiration, enzymes, fermentation, membrane structure, ATP, NAD,NADH,NADP,NADPH). I understand it but i tend to forget information easily. i jst wanted to know if you guys stil do all this stuff in pharmacy school. i also need your advice on how to always remember and study all this information without forgetting them or getting confused. thanks a bunch.

Biochem in pharmacy school is like biochem on steroids. I recommend taking a biochem course during undergrad so that you have a knowledge base. They will go through the material very quickly, so if you have a background, you won't have to devote quite as much time to it as other students who have not taken the class.

You need to get as many passes over the material as possible. It's not fun but it's what you have to do. Find out your learning style before heading into pharmacy school. It will help improve your study habits.

I would say that biochemistry mostly only comes up in a class we have called Biochemistry. Other than that it hardly comes up at all.

Advice on how to remember everything you study and never get confused about anything? Sure no problem. The trick is to remember everything that you study and not get it confused. Good Luck! 👍

You need it to understand pharmacology as well as you can.

The cellular respiration stuff is only useful in understanding how drugs affect metabolic pathophysiology. Diabetes...metabolic syndrome...etc. Personally, I like metabolism more than any other realm of medical crap simple because it is so complex and still a subject of vast potential for future therapeutic modalities, so I ate that biochem stuff up back in the day.

You'll have that one course where you "go into" biochemistry and it will cover at least as much as your undergrad biochem course. After that, it's assumed that You know the principles, which you'll need for pharmacology.
