I remember this now
All CNS drugs are lipid soluble/liver metabolised
All Antibiotics are excreted by Kidney

Keep on going man, Race is still on. You gotta Score 99,99,99.

DR. 123[/font]


[font style="background-color: #ffffff"]i hope u remember the exceptions, like nafcillin, cefoperazone, ceftriaxone, doxycycline, chloramphenicols, to some extent sulfonamides ....lol......thats it![/font]

[font style="background-color: #ffffff"]The first 4 are critical to remember...and azithro is the only water sol macrolide (the other two are liver metabolized)![/font]

[font style="background-color: #ffffff"]Best of Luck!

Hai Friends

Alright, dowjunk is perfectly fine , as he is not suffering from P-neumonia. Thats why this fellow is looking for m-neumonics desperately-- there is some sort of mneumonic Cards in the market but I am concentrating on the Katz Review Charts.

However after listening this phrase in Kaplan --- Cant see, Cant PEE, Cant climb--- Reiters Syndrome --- Uveitis, Urthrietis, Arthritis, I will definitely look for some.

Well Lost week for one reason or other

Completed Drugs with Important Actions on Blood, Inflammation & Gout from Katzung Review.This includes following Chapters:

1. Agents used in Anemias & Hematopoetic Growth factors.
2. Drugs used in Coagulation disorders.
3. Drugs Used in the Rx of Hyperlipidemias.
4. NSAIDS, Acetaminophen, & Drugs used in Rheumatoid Arthritis and GOUT.

Next Target: Musculoskeletal System all from his Audios, Slides and Rapid Review.

DowJunk look for mneumonic Cards at Winco, Farooq or Classic.

Take care

Best of Luck.

@ Smarty

No I am not studying from Flash Cards but Some are really goood-- Pharm Cards by Johnsons BRS Falsh Cards but I am concentrating on this book only.

Well Why katz Review. I was basically doing USMLE RoadMap-- real small source-- just wanted to take a short cut but thats not enough to get one through MCQs. So started reading Katz for reference and now halfway will complete this book as my source of Pharmacology for Steps as revising from Charts will be quite fast.

People are using this book along with Kaplan Pharma as well.

Choose which best suits. ( for one self)

Some saying to complete Kaplan Pathology with videos as well along with Goljan Rapid review. Well reading Goljan Rapid review Ssimultaneously.

My Problem -- cant read one subject all the time as I get bored and starts dragging so study two subjects at a time.

Hai all there

@dowjunk

Dont take Blibo extracts, Take Tapal Sachets of Green Tea. I believe its safer alternative
yes, I met here quite nice people. Just after starting preparation, I began too struggle.
Reason, All work No Play, make a Jack dull boy.
Atleast, I am socialising with like minded people.

Completed Musculoskeletal System from Pathology Rapid Review + Goljan Audios + Goljan Slides.

Next Five Days:
1. CNS Drugs. ( 2 Chapters a Day)
2. Skin Disorders from Pathology

hey doctor 123,

your scedule looks good though I would do it a little bit different, means divide it into 6 parts instead of 3, but do it as you think its best.
Anyway, what can you recommend for preparation for medical ethics and biostatics?
Any comment is welcome

  #47

Hai mle1prep

I will kaplan medical ethics by Conrad Fissure and for biostatistis - well i havent taken exam but behavioral science by barbara fadem should suffice

Quite slowed down for the last 15 days however from today , i will post everyday
