Few errors to note: Carbidopa + Levodopa brand name is Sinemet. Dulaglutide and Semaglutide are glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonists (GLP-1). Percocet is an analgesic + opioid combination, not NSAID +opioid. Coumadin doesn't exist anymore as a brand for warfarin; the brand name should be Jantoven.

    I just want to echo the positive comments from others posted here and say that your audio recordings (particularly this one) I attribute to my passing the PTCB exam. It still feels unreal to be able to put CPhT behind my name. Thank you for fostering the success of other aspiring to this profession. Liked, subscribed, and looking for new content that you post! Count me a fan!

    I got a 1587 on the PTCE last month. The perfect score is 1600. I thought I had failed it. I further echo the positive comments made about Michael’s YT clips. I use CPhT on my resume + I include copies of my state license & PTCB certificate.

    Thank you so much for taking the time to make and put up this video and the others you have as well. I have found them immensely helpful in my struggling attempt to become a pharmacy tech. I have found this one to be the best of all the 'Top Drugs' videos I've found on KZread. You do a great job with the pronunciations and the whole video flows smoothly and quickly, packing so much information into a short time period. I've watched it so many times that the drug names can sometimes just pop out of my mouth without having to think about them. I received my official PTCB exam passing letter today, and these videos played a significant part in achieving that.

    Thank you! Everyone retains info using different methods but repetition is probably the most important factor when learning anything. For the top 200 drugs you could use flashcards, a list, replay audio, take a lot of practice quizzes, and learn them in sections. I would start off with making flashcards that separates them into one of the 7 color coded classes that I've outlined in my drug classes video or as shown on the google doc. Color code the font based on the class, which will give you a general sense of what the drug does. For example, a drug color coded in red has a cardio indication, blue font is used for a neuro indication, and pink font is infectious disease (antibiotic, antiviral, antifungal). Emphasize the drug stems in the generic names using a highlighter or underline, because stems point you towards the indication. Know that about 99% of drugs have a shorter brand name compared to the generic name. And brand names are catchy and can often clue towards the indication as well. I've included a column in the drug list to show some examples. If you get tired of the flashcards or don't want to make them, try any practice quiz you can find and practice, practice practice!

    If I'm going to do flash cards for the Top 200 Drugs, what is all the information should I put on them?

  • @ungerpharmacy

    @ungerpharmacy

    2 жыл бұрын

    Hey great question! Generic, brand, and indication are the most important. I would put the generic name on one side and the brand and indication on the other. Color code the generic name according to the systemic classification and underline or highlight any stems the generic names might have. For example, one side would have atorvastatin in red font indicating it is a cardiology drug with the ‘vastatin’ stem underlined or highlighted. Backside says Lipitor and dyslipidemia or hypercholesterolemia. Knowing individual drug classes can be helpful because you can separate the drugs into manageable chunks to study but it isn’t necessary. Color coding will help you associate the drug name with its class and link it to the indication. So you could write the class on the front of the flash card along with the generic name if you think you would find that helpful. If you’re working in a community setting knowing the generic, brand, and indications will help you communicate more effectively with your patients!

    Everyone makes mistakes starting out so don’t be discouraged when you mess something up. The pharmacist is there to double check your work. Be able to take constructive feedback when mistakes occur and learn from the experience so you don’t repeat them. Along the same lines, make sure to ask questions when you’re unsure of something. I’d much rather work with someone willing to learn than someone who lacks initiative or slows down the workflow because they’re afraid to ask questions. Pharmacy is a lifelong learning profession so keep an open mind and don’t be too hard on yourself!
