The one I use is in the pharm chapter of FA, at the end. I have 2010 edition and it's pg. 241, not sure about the newest edition.

Oh, I forgot to mention that there are 2 additions that I have made from UWorld. The inhibitors - I have "C" meaning both cimetidine and cipro, then you need to add ritonavir (and other protease inhibitors) to inhibitors as well. Unfortunately the second one doesn't lend itself well to fitting into the pneumonic. Maybe you can find a way to squeeze it in.

Ha, I actually think this is solid...add an "S" to make "CRAzIE fruitS" and you've got sulfas covered too.
