wasnt that bad...125 qs in total

most of it was on ANS, maybe 5 qns in total on kinetics and dynamics...only one question was to calculate clearance - most of them were graphs and scenarios with competivitive and irreversible drugs and dose response

it was a very good mix of everything...ANS tracings, receptors and mechanisms were very high yield. CNS wasnt that much...cardio, they asked a lot about verapamil and diltiazem...i could recall atleast 5 qs

very few antimicrobials, which was a huge surprise to me...only one q on ALL penicillins, 2 qs on IVERMECTIN! 3-4 qs on treatment for flukes/trematodes. didn't really ask much for anti-bacterials. 2 qns in total for antivirals, obvioysly MOA of acyclovir and tx for herpes keratitis.

some anti cancers...3 qns on just knowing which drug acts on which phase of cell cycle! i totally skipped over that - oh well.

side effect of furoesemide = ototoxic

what else...hmmm..

in anesthetics, focus wasnt on the specific drugs, but knowing more of MAC and B:G and O:G ratio. there were three qns just on that, and one of them was a graph...bviously there was a qn on the role of epinephrine in local anesthetics...

didnt see any BZDs, or anti psychotics...maybe one q each...

definitely know anti depressants...TCAs were tested repeatedly, suprisingly





thats all i can think of...i know shelfs are old, but maybe those who have em coming up may find this useful.

cheers
