Description
Lange Pharmacology Flash Cards provide a concise, portable, and comprehensive survey of high-yield pharmacology content for course and USMLE Step 1 review. This application offers two modes: drug index mode for quick review of pertinent information about a drug, and flash card mode for customizable study of details about each drug.

Features include:

• Customizable flash card mode

• “Bookmark” feature to bookmark important cards

• Categorization of diseases for quick reference

In the drug index mode, introductory cards in each chapter describe the basic principles of that particular drug class that are board relevant and high yield.

These characteristics are organized into sections entitled Mechanism of Action, Clinical Uses, and Side Effects. High-yield information on certain drug-drug interactions or routes of administration is also included.

In the customizable flash card mode, users can choose all aspects of each disease or choose which specific aspects they’d like to study: vignette, similar drugs, mechanism of action, clinical uses, side effects, annotations, and other details. The flash card mode also features a shuffle mode for quick review. With the ability to bookmark cards, add notes, and shuffle cards, Lange Pharmacology Flash Cards offer multiple ways to learn pharmacology.
