Reference Books:
- Mini Katzung Pharmacology
Tips:
- Read the scenario carefully, questions are often just about drug of choice but their MOA, adverse effects, and contraindications are equally important, so always learn a drug as a complete package, not in isolation.
- Know your drug classes and MOA. Once you understand how a drug works, its side effects and contraindications often make logical sense on their own.
- Revision is non-negotiable — you cannot retain everything in one go. Revisit regularly and focus on connecting concepts rather than cramming facts, because understanding always outlasts memorization.
- When tackling an MCQ, read the last line first — the actual question — then go back to the stem so you know what to look for.
- If you don’t know the answer, use elimination method — remove the most obvious wrong answers — always helps.
- Must do MCQs from Mini Katzung
