How do you guys remember the cephaloprorins and which generation they're in? I'm having trouble keeping them straight.

1. cePHalothin
2. cePHapirin
3.cePHradine
4. cePHalexin

second generation
the FAMily is gathered wearing some FUR coats and your FOXy cousin is drinking TEa.
1. ceFAMandole
2. ceFAclor
3. ceFURoxime
4. ceFOXitin
5. cefTEtan

the third generation mostly have T in their names.

Picmonic! Easiest way to memorize bugs and drugs from FA; Makes me look like a champ on the wards.

Pearl: Among the 3rd gens, ceftazidime is used for Pseudomonas aeruginosa infections.

Thanks Paul. Yeah, I got a 6 month subscription but haven't even started. Expires in November, hopefully I'll put it to good use before then.
