Two Questions Regarding Step 1 Pharm

[Blondnuttyboy]

Hey guys,

i've a couple questions regarding the dreaded pharm..

1) Having trouble deciding how to approach studying - I'm thinking repetition, repetition, but from multiple sources. 1st pass = first aid, 2nd pass = lange flash cards, 3rd pass = maybe q banks. im terrible at pharm and esp. side effects/interactions. any tips?

2) ALSO - you know those specific questions that show a graph of vascular resistance and hr (sometimes other cardio variables can be in there) and they have two drugs X, Y (sometimes ones an agonst, ones an antagonist, whatever) and the graph shows you drug effects on the variables...?
Anyone know what they're called or where I can find more of those to practice?
I'm TERRIBLE at those for some odd reason.

thanks

1. UW and FA pharm is all that you need. Pharm is not complicated but requires you to know MOA, side effects and rescue therapies. Of course the dynamics and kinetics require you to understand physiology.

2. There was a lot of those that I saw and Lange pharm has good questions on that.
