TERM TO UNDERSTAND

 

BASIC TERMINOLOGY

This are the some Terms for the medical drugs to understand the whole concept of drugs

Mechanism:

The most important section for USMLE Step I! The explanation often starts at the molecular level and then moves on to organ level effects. Some of the molecular detail is unlikely to be tested on the Boards but is included to provide you with a stronger conceptual foundation.

Resistance:
Usually seen with antimicrobials, antineoplastics, and so on.

Clinical
For the Boards, it is important to understand how the mechanism of action explains the clinical utility. One need not, however, know the exact spectrum of activity for antimicrobials, the specific arrhythmias for which antiarrhythmics are used, and so on. For third-year students, clinical indications take on increased importance.

Side Effects:
The most common as well as the severe and unique side effects are worth memorizing.

Antidote:
On toxin cards and drugs when there is a specific treatment for intoxication.

Contraindic:
Life-threatening absolute contraindications are important and are usually italicized.

Metabolism:
Noted here are atypical routes of administration, particularly short or long half-lives, and routes of metabolism that are subject to clinically relevant alterations.

Interactions:
Reserved for notable drug–drug interactions.
