How to Study Pharmacology

  • Group drugs by class and learn the prototype first: members usually share the mechanism and side-effect profile.
  • Build a "mechanism then effect then adverse effect then interaction" chain for each drug.
  • Quiz yourself on antidotes, contraindications and black-box warnings; they are high-yield and frequently tested.
