I struggled to find a resource to help me wade through and memorize drugs, but found it with this book. Short and to the point, it's got most of what you need for Step 1, and I can't say enough good things about the format. Perfect for absorbing rote information and helping you sort out answer choices on the exam.I got a reasonable grip on pharm concept from courses and FA, but still found myself stumbling on pharm stuff in the qBanks (don't get me started on the dense uselessness of the Lange deck). I needed to find a resource that would let me quickly and repeatedly hammer home drug information, and this book had exactly what I was looking for. I became a believer in the Deja Review series after I found this book and bought most of the series (most are awesome, a few are bad).The key here is to not over-utilize this book, and to recognize it for what it is. It is a way to help you rote memorize drugs, mechanisms, side effects, etc. But it is not a text designed to help you understand pharmacology or drugs.So, if you find yourself struggling with concepts, this book is probably not for you. If you find yourself struggling with the drugs themselves, you've just found what you're looking for.
Good shelf review but too much for the step 1. All the pharm you NEED to know is in first aid and USMLE world.
I love the question/ answers format. I use it regularly for reviewing the subject. It is also helpful for exam study and review.I purchase the Kindle version of it and it is much more easier to navigate. Again it is not textbook for pharmacology this will not help if you do not your material before-hand
It's a quick review for pharmacology. I don't recommend studying solely from this book obviously, but it is an easy book to read on the go. It uses a Q & A format that you can cover the answer and just quiz yourself on the go when. The questions are all short and so are the answers. I used this book whenever I am on a bus or before I go to sleep. I think it's pretty helpful to highlight some of the important points in lengthy pharm books. It is reasonably "high yield" for step 1 but I don't think it is a necessary book to have if you want to achieve a high score...
Bought the kindle version of this book. The formatting was not in the two column setup as described in the information. That was the main reason why I bought this particular type of review book. The kindle edition was a waste.
I'm a big fan, but I got the kindle edition (because I'm cheap) and I regret that; the kindel edition does not present in a two column format (at least on my ipad/desktop apps) so you don't get the ease of quizzing yourself. I'm going to attempt to troubleshoot, otherwise I will have to bite the bullet and get the paperback copy; it is worth it
Good for what it is: a REVIEW book. This is better for drilling and review of concepts, when it comes to actually learning MOA, S/Es, etc I'd use Katzung, Lippincott or a similar text.Small, portable, not too thick. Great to carry with you if, like me, Pharmacology is an Achilles heel. Ideally this is good for a last pass of questions before a Pharm shelf, as another reviewer noted May be too much detail for Boards.
There are definitely things in here that are overkill for step 1, but it's easy enough to get through and a great way to learn drugs. I waited until the last 2 weeks of step studying and blew through this my pharm when from in danger of failing to off the chart on test day.If you feel you can learn pharm from the charts in FA, that's enough, but I preferred the q and a format of Deja Review.
