This fast and easy pharmacology review through mnemonics recognizes that many future nurses, doctors, physician assistants, and pharmacists (chemists) have families, jobs, and other responsibilities. Do you have time enough time to make 100 percent sure you will pass in the classroom or on the board exam? For most students taking the NCLEX, NAPLEX, USMLE Step-1, PANCE, GPHC, or KAPS exam, the answer is no.Â
I wrote this mnemonic guide as an audiobook first to help you remember pharmacology drug names and principles quickly. While in the classroom your professors might say memorization doesn't matter, but you can't bring outside material to the board exam, so for this test, you do need to work on memory training. You already know the consequences of failing a class or board exam, so let's make sure that doesn't happen by getting pharmacology organized in your head once and for all.Â

"While the book has some helpful mnemonics, I don't know how well they will all stick. There are simply SO many. At some point, you need to rely on your ability to understand the content and apply it in a situation, not rely on a mnemonic to make the right choice of action when in the medical field. In addition, the mnemonics often combine both drugs in a given category and side affects, so it won't help you remember a specific drug's side affect, but rather a large group of drugs and a common side affect.
I think that if you are struggling with a few drug classes, then looking into JUST THOSE mnemonics would be helpful. In summary, I think this would be a good supplemental resource for someone, but definitely not a primary resource to learning pharmacology.
A few of the helpful mnemonics I found are as following:
Beta-Blocker Concerns (ABCDE)
A-Asthma, nonselective such as propranolol
B - Block as heart block
C - COPD
D - Diabetes mellitus
E - Electrolyte abnormalities
For Diuretics: MAN, FLUSH THIS
M- MANnitol
F - Furosemide (Lasix)
L - loop diuretic
U
S
H - hydrocholorthiazide
T - triamterne
H - Hydrocholothyiazide
I - In combination
S - Spironolactone
Diuretic Classes: LOCATE a bathroom soon
L - Loop, furosemide
O - osmotic, mannitol
C - carbonic anhydrase
A - Aldosterone inhibitor, spironolactone
T - Thiazide, hydrocholothiazide
E -"

E - - This book has its pros and cons. Overall, I like the book but it can be overwhelming at times. I preferred Memorizing Pharmacology A Relaxed Approach to this book and would start with that book, but use this one as a another resource to learn more overall about the drugs. What I really enjoyed in this book was the mnemonics that did help a lot. One that really clicked to me was PAINN MEDS KICKIN. It helps you remember analgesic pain meds, as well as other things about pain. For example, the P stands for prostaglandins. I also enjoyed STUFFED UP PEOPLE for decongestants. It starts with Phenylephrine, and then the E stands for 'Exceed 3 days prohibited', which is a nice reminder that these drugs aren't to be used longer than 3 days at a time. Another one that stuck out to me was LEARN INSULIN DRUGS. It's a good mnemonic because you just have to remember to 'Learn Insulin Drugs' while studying insulin drugs. The L was for Lispro, the E was for eat, and the A for Aspart, and so on.
I found this book very helpful, but for a new pharmacology student like myself, I would start off with the original Memorizing Pharmacology to get a better grasp before diving into this book. - As a nursing student, I think that this book is a good supplemental resource to learning drugs for the NCLEX. I think that there is so much information in here that it can be a little overwhelming. However, starting with Dr. Guerra’s other book Memorizing Pharmacology A Relaxed Approach really helps with a basic knowledge of drugs. I think that having some other kind of resource to know what to use in different situations is a good idea, too.
My favorite mneumonics included in this book are for antacids-ACIDIC MEALS, NSAIDs- PAINN MEDS KICK IN, and for bacteriostatic or antibiotic drugs – STATIC.
Antacids – ACIDIC MEALS
Aluminum hydroxide (Amphojel)
Calcium carbonate (Tums, Pepto Children’s)
I
Decreased phosphate with Al(OH3), CaCO3, Mg(OH)2
Ions, chelation with fluoroquinolones, levothyroxine, and tetracyclines
Constipation from Al(OH)3 and CaCO3
Magnesium hydroxide (Milk of Magnesia)
E
As needed (PRN) rather than scheduled
Laxative effect of magnesium hydroxide
Sodium bicarbonate (in Alka-Seltzer)
NSAIDs – PAINN MEDS KICK IN
Prostaglandins
Aspirin (Ecotrin)
Ibuprofen (Motrin)
Naproxen (Aleve, Naprosyn)
Nabumetone (Relafen)
Meloxicam (Mobic)
Etodolac (Lodine)
Diclofenac (Voltaren)
Sulindac (Clinoril)
Ketoprofen (Orudis)
Indomethacin (Indocin)
Celecoxib (Celebrex)
Ketorolac (Toradol)
INjectable form is ketorolac
Bacteriostatic or antibiotics – STATIC
Sulfamethoxazole/Trimethoprim (Bactrim)
Tedizolid (Sivextro)
Azithromycin (Zithromax)
Tetracyclin (Achromycin)
nItrofurantoin (Macrobid, Macrodantin)
Clindamycin (Cleocin) - I'm a fan of the way that Dr. Guerra presents this information. The material is presented in a very clear and concise way. However, more importantly he makes the information relatable. He provides his own anecdotes and keeps the material interesting and, surprisingly, prevents it from becoming too dry. The mnemonics are also very helpful because the material can be overwhelming so it's nice to have some tried and true mnemonics to work from to help with memorization. I think pharmacology is interesting but I still feel like it's a lot of information that can often be easy to confuse because so many drug names sound so similar, this book and the mnemonics definitely help!
- I thought this book was a good addition to A relaxed approach. The way it has everything outlined and in order was great. When you have a family, work, and are back in school its nice to have a very organized book. I only give this 4 stars because I don't learn well with mnemonics (never have) and I feel that there are so many to learn that I am learning better with the Memorizing Pharmacology a Relaxed Approach. Defenitly recommend buying this book in addition to the Relaxed approach as there are spots in this book to quiz what you do know. One mnemonic that does help me since beta blocker are confusing is
Beta-Blocker Concerns (ABCDE)
A-Asthma, non-selective such as propranolol
B - Block as heart block
C - COPD
D - Diabetes mellitus
E - Electrolyte abnormalities
