Each card has the following categories of information: Mechanism, Clinical (Use), Side Effects, Contraindications, Metabolism, and Notes. Average Rating:
 Rating:  - Step 1 mut haveFor me this has been the best way to remember and start to understand all the drugs. I used these for step-1 but I wish I wuld have had them for my first two years of med school. Still use them in my 3rd and 4rth years. Very good depth and detail, but still managable and easy to comprehend. Rating: - great resourceThere's a third edition out now (as of 2007), and I highly recommend these cards as a study-aid. Compared to some other pharm cards I've seen, these are not actually that crammed with text. They hit all the important points for each drug, have very useful tables, mechanism pictures, and groupings of drugs on the back side of many of the cards, which break up the text nicely without overwhelming the user with non-board relevant material. Rating:  - They are ok but too much detailI started my second year using these cards and they were helpful but they still have too much information. The problem is that similar drugs are grouped together in one card despite being indicated for different conditions which made them hard to study for class where you need to know the specific side effects of each one. As a Board review-there is alot more than what you really need- I would stick to using the First Aid and Kaplan Pharm instead. Rating: - excellent sourceI liked it much more than Katzung. in my opinion pharmcards are concise and explain concepts better. Rating:  - Excellent resource, but not without its flawsThis enormous stack of cards is organized alphabetically by generic drug name, with the addition of some schematic/ drug classes cards. Each specific drug card lists the mechanism, clinical applications, resistance (if applicable), side effects, contraindications, metabolism, interactions with other drugs, and misc. notes. The other side of the card depicts the structure, and any other pictures that facilitate understanding of the mechanism or the drug's site of action. The cards have good organization ... Read More |
