How are you guys studying pharm? There are just way too many drugs in first aid. I am finding this task to be utterly daunting and almost impossible...HELP!!
 
I KNOW!! I felt the same way! I had done Kaplan pharm back in Jan but I did certain parts over again like cardio, neuro/psych and ANS. I believe the main thing is repetition. And also to focus on different side effects like unusual to that certain drug. MOA. And remember as many of the drugs. I hear index cards work, writing them out over n over. Mainly what helped me was questions and now doing DIT which helps a lot :/
 
Skip the "common" side effects and focus most on those side effects that separate one drug from its class or whatnot.
 
If you want to get pharm down, then focus on MOA. this is the key of course micro and antiarthymic drugs are difficult but the rest is not too bad if you know the MOA. Try to correlate with physio if you can.
