:memo: I feel you! Which revision technique works best for you? flashcards, group study, or question banks? :nerd_face:

:exploding_head: I can relate! Do you think grouping drugs by clinical use instead of chemical class helps recall? :card_index_dividers:

24

:face_with_spiral_eyes: Same here! Which drug example do you think makes the difference between inverse agonist and antagonist crystal clear? :pill:

25

:open_mouth: Wow, yes! Would a visual chart of receptor subtypes help make this clearer for you? :bar_chart:

26

:counterclockwise_arrows_button: So tricky! Which enzyme-drug interaction do you encounter the most in exams or clinical cases? :test_tube:

27

:high_voltage: Totally relatable! Do receptor type charts (α/β vs muscarinic/nicotinic) make this easier for you?

28

:sweat_smile: Haha, yes! Have you tried making your own color-coded classification diagrams? did it help at all? :artist_palette:

Did and even pasted it on my wall :grin:,but now being in practice for 8+years familiarity increases with drugs and its effects.

Most confusing part nervous system

It is pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics, wherein pharmacokinetics is what the body does to the drug whereas the pharmodyanamics is what the drug does to the body which still confuses us.

What is the right answer by the way? whoever reads this comment, please advise.

Yes, receptor-type charts are very helpful. They simplify the differentiation between sympathetic and parasympathetic actions and make it easier to correlate drugs with their mechanisms and clinical uses.

I don’t have a topic where I am particularly confused but remembering and revising all the classifications and drug names is demanding.

You’re actually on the right track! :blush:

Pharmacokinetics is what the body does to the drug (absorption, distribution, metabolism, excretion) :pill::right_arrow::dna:

Pharmacodynamics is what the drug does to the body (its effects and mechanism of action) :collision:

Don’t worry, this confuses almost everyone at first :sweat_smile:

Which part feels more tricky to you — the ADME process or understanding receptor actions and dose–response curves? :thinking::bar_chart:

39

Yes :smiling_face_with_tear:, memorizing each different systemic effect of each drug was confusing :dizzy:. Did you use any mnemonics to memorize them?:eyes:

40

They seem simple at first, but then the whole RAAS pathway, bradykinin cough, angioedema, renal effects… it goes on​:brain::chart_decreasing:.What part confuses you the most?

41

Sometimes grouping drugs by mechanism or clinical use instead of memorizing long lists helps a bit :raising_hands:. Do you find it easier to remember drugs when you connect them to clinical cases?

Glad my answers are almost correct. Thanks for your confirmation.
