to you need to memorize doses for naplex?
woah there...i think memorizing all those doses (useless btw because u can look it up in 1 second) drove u crazy there...lol u sound like a nerdI'm going to interpret the question as "do you need to memorize doses for the NAPLEX?"
Please do not tell me you are currently preparing for the NAPLEX if you have to ask that question. This question used to be one of my biggest pet peeves in pharmacy school. I absolutely loved one of my professor's responses; he said "You are training to become a Pharmacist, it may help to know the ****ing doses of medications, wouldn't you think?"
you sound like a jerklol u sound like a nerd
Hey man- I think its a good question. With hundreds of drugs out there its almost impossible to know dosage regimens for all of them. For the Naplex its best to be familiar with some of the most commonly prescribed meds. Know what a high or low dose for some of the MORE common drugs associated with the MOST common disease states looks like, i.e diabetes, HTN, cholesterol. You may want to be familiar with max doses for some meds as well.
If your going to sit there and try and memorize regimens for gen 1 antipsychs or MS meds your probabley going to be wasting your time. Alot of the info on doses you probabley would have picked up from working.
