Thank you! Everyone retains info using different methods but repetition is probably the most important factor when learning anything. For the top 200 drugs you could use flashcards, a list, replay audio, take a lot of practice quizzes, and learn them in sections. I would start off with making flashcards that separates them into one of the 7 color coded classes that I've outlined in my drug classes video or as shown on the google doc. Color code the font based on the class, which will give you a general sense of what the drug does. For example, a drug color coded in red has a cardio indication, blue font is used for a neuro indication, and pink font is infectious disease (antibiotic, antiviral, antifungal). Emphasize the drug stems in the generic names using a highlighter or underline, because stems point you towards the indication. Know that about 99% of drugs have a shorter brand name compared to the generic name. And brand names are catchy and can often clue towards the indication as well. I've included a column in the drug list to show some examples. If you get tired of the flashcards or don't want to make them, try any practice quiz you can find and practice, practice practice!

You’re welcome!

I'll post an excel spreadsheet link in my next video

@@ungerpharmacy Thank you kind Sir! ❤️

And you're amazing!

Gotcha! It was my first video so audio is definitely scuffed! Check out my new top 200 drugs that I’ve uploaded more recently. Audio is much better.

Hey great question! Generic, brand, and indication are the most important. I would put the generic name on one side and the brand and indication on the other. Color code the generic name according to the systemic classification and underline or highlight any stems the generic names might have. For example, one side would have atorvastatin in red font indicating it is a cardiology drug with the ‘vastatin’ stem underlined or highlighted. Backside says Lipitor and dyslipidemia or hypercholesterolemia. Knowing individual drug classes can be helpful because you can separate the drugs into manageable chunks to study but it isn’t necessary. Color coding will help you associate the drug name with its class and link it to the indication. So you could write the class on the front of the flash card along with the generic name if you think you would find that helpful. If you’re working in a community setting knowing the generic, brand, and indications will help you communicate more effectively with your patients!

Thank you so much!!

Thanks for the suggestion! It might be a bit difficult to come up with that list, so instead check out the list I’ve made containing most of the drugs you might find in the outpatient setting. It’s the tab ‘Drug List’ under the google docs linked in the description!

Thanks for the feedback! I'll keep that in mind for future content.

I know! It was my first video so I was still working out the audio! 😅

You bet! Thanks for the support!
