Studying Pharmacology

What are your strategies for success when studying pharmacology. It's not so much the types of receptors and how they work, etc. But, rather it's the actual drugs themselves.

Just looking for tips and suggestions.

Thanks!

I loved the pharmnemonics cards. If you are the type of person that can study this way, and have even a little sense of humor, they are golden.

I'm typically not a fan of brute memorization, but these made things a lot easier. I used them second year, and as a fourth year I still remember the little pictures on the cards.

you can get them on their website, or just search it on amazon.

I am a 4th year pharmacy student and always wondered how med students studied pharmacology compared to pharmacy students.
