The consensus on SDN is that FA is all you need for pharm, but notecards will probably be the best way I learn/study pharm, just because of the type of subject it is. What do you think about the Brenner pharm cards? Do they have all of the drugs in FA?

As long as the Brenner pharm cards have everything in FA, then go for it. The only way you'll know is to look.
I'm on a systems-based curriculum, and have been following along with first aid, Goljan path, and Lange Pharm flash cards. From my incomplete experience, all the drugs I've seen in first aid can be found in Lange cards (the 2nd edition). Since the second edition of Lange (as well as the new Brenner set) just came out last summer, I'm not sure anyone can tell you which of these new sets match closely with first aid.
Thanks. I'm planning on getting pharm cards pretty soon and I can't decide on which ones. Buying flashcards is different than a book because the cards are kept in a plastic covering so I can't read before I buy.
I'm wondering this exact same thing. I'm assuming that Brenner's has to be pretty close to all of the FA drugs.
What makes you say that?
A few M3s I have spoken with said that Brenner's is a good review for Step 1. Also, just by sheer volume of cards - I would assume that many of them match with FA.
i think kaplan pharm is enough.there is no need of any flash cards or Fa
