@Jasmine And I hate when they look at you like an idiot because you can’t pronounce the generic and also automatically remember the name brand. There are thousands of these things, lady. I’m sorry.
Thank you for this. I become a PCA right now and thanks to God . God gave me chance to have a work especially during this Trial Times. Again thank you for this
Great video! Two suggestions: - Keep the current category (i.e antihistamines) labeled in the top left as you go through - Show a CIII, CIV, etc. in the top right (where most containers display the drug schedule). As a new pharm-tech that would help a lot more than just reading and hearing a list of drug names.
Took the PTCB exam today and i would say 80% of the questions i guessed on. The exam is not as easy as i thought it would be, i went in there feeling 100% sure i was going to pass since i felt as if there was nothing else for me to study. The questions weren't as easy as "Norvasc is a calcium channel blocker" the questions on my exam where some generic and brand names, flow rates, doses, some laws and dispensing no allegations or compounding but every test is different. Some questions where pretty easy like "wash hands for 30 secs" but on the questions for billing, dispensing or medication safety those were some super in depth questions, nothing like I've read and studied. And trust me i studied everyday, read, memorized everything, i took 100 practice exams and took all of them till i passed them all with an 90+ because i didn't want to fail. All in all my preliminary says i PASSED my exam on my first try but i know those aren't the official results, i feel more sure that i failed.
My advice to those hoping to take the exam study all 9 sections to the core learn what drug is preferred, side effects, contradictions, safety procedures. Thought i knew everything but i guess i only learned the basics or scratched the surface of what i was supposed to study.
Yeah, I just got a rxtech job and would like to get certified as soon as I can but I want to understand what I’m learning. I guess I’m trying to figure out what I should learn first instead of learning everything at once
Doing mine next week, not looking forward to it at all, I've quizzed and quizzed myself like crazy, I feel sure I will fail cause I purchased 2 of their tests online and messed them up, my Job requires me to be certified by January, looks like a new job for me sadly, been a tech for 8 years, never have I come across any of the stuff they asked in the pre tests..
@@mauriciomedina2629 hi thank you I took the exam today and passed, what a massive relief, thank to the lady who posted this video, I recorded it and listened to it a bedtime I am.sure ot helped me 😊
Thanks! I am a Medicare insurance agent dealing daily with a LOT of prescription drugs pronunciations throughout the day while helping clients and shoppers, and sometimes the pronunciation can be uphill for real lol. This video certainly helps a lot. Cudos!
@@vinceli8638 please Vince Li I am a Pharmacis student(Pharm D) and I am from Pakistan, 😢🤗😭😢 please make a Video about All the basic and Daily life Drugs that we use, Actually use Acronyms, prefixes, Make crossword puzzles out of the names, indications, indications, side effects, and other special drug features. ... Show us how to ctweak the crossword technique to help distinguish lookalike/sound-alike drugs. ... Make up a jingle or rhyme. Please make Drugs name easy to recall and Memorize and Tricks to find Drugs by organizing them and interlinked them Conceptually
I'm sure some of these she mispronounced a bit because you see she pronounced letters that weren't in some of the words and sometimes she stumbled but mostly good! These things are hard to get down!
Thank you very much for doing this vedio. I just start my pharmacy tech class and I don't know how to pronounce many of these drugs name. So thank you again!!
You are very welcome. I have been in pharmacy school for 2 years and I still have trouble pronouncing some drug names. You can watch this or some other videos and practice on your own. Hope you will improve a lot!
@@vinceli8638 please make Acronyms and Prefixes of drugs, so we can memorize it easily, rhymes and jingles so we can identify and pronounce the Drugs easily, some patterns and keywords of Drugs....... Please 😭🙏❤️🙏🙏
I plan on taking the Pharmacy Tech exam in about a month. If I listen to this every day till then, maybe that’ll help. I currently work in a pharmacy, but I can’t ask for the generic or brand of every medication I pull or fill. That’d be extremely annoying. But I have learned a lot working there
Nice! Honestly I only listen to it once a week, but I think it would definitely help if you can do that persistently. You may also want to study some other parts of your exam beside this. I haven't taken that exam before, but I hope it helps for the exam and in the future. Good luck on your exam!!
Great! Thanks for categorizing it! This helped a lot for working in the pharmacy! I just graduated high school and started working as a pharmacy tech! Are you in pharmacy school?
@@vinceli8638 Great Drug Content, but please Ms Vince Li use Acronyms and Prefixes, 😢😭😭 and Hints So we can recall the Drugs easily with and Without Memorization both, please Ms 🤗😣🤗
I think the primary indication for Allopurinol is to treat gout. Actually, I have never heard of the one you mention. But I am always happy to learn more! Thank you!
Sir I am doing graduation in BSCS and I am working on project. I need your guidance Sir related to this. And we are facing issue of medicines's database, can you provide us the dataset of all medicine names, so it's comfortable for us to store all medicine names in our database through your dataset?
I think the brand names are more for USA products. For example, Acetaminophen, the US uses Tylenol as the brand name, but British (and many countries in the world) uses Paracetamol.
Start off with learning the generic drug suffixes. This will allow you to group classes of drugs together. Then slowly learn the drugs that do not have easily identifiable suffixes, and then their respective brand names. I left brand names last since they have little to no pattern in naming. They would be easier to memorize once their generic versions have been memorized to compare with.
For the generic name, I think she meant to say Propranolol "Hydrochloride", not Propranolol "Hydrochlorothiazide". The brand names Inderal & Innopran are said correctly.
Moonseok Kim thanks...in hindsight, I guess this question is pretty stupid but I'm still in undergrad so I wasn't sure how much pharmacy school would differ from my life sciences undergrad (I'm from Canada where some undergrad is needed before pharm school)...like if we learned more drug related things, or things like anatomy/physiology...but thanks for letting me know and I'll do my research before starting pharm school lol
hi, how are you? this video really helps ,,,thank u ,,,can I ask u a favor do u mind to post brands and generic with dosage form(grams, mg, etc.. and if its a tablet ,capsule, cream or ointment) and what is it for like for blood pressure, for diabetes or for ulcers etc. and what schedules???? plsss, plsss.... thank you, for sure lots of viewers will like your video...'cause everything is there already all the info are all in one video...
Hi, I'm good, how are you?! I made this video after my first semester in pharmacy school. The reason I made it was to help myself be familiar with pronunciation with the drug names, since those are not regular English. I thought it might help others especially for P1s, so I posted this video. I will definitely take your advice and try to do a more comprehensive one when I am done with this semester. Thanks!
