"diGOxin needs to GO."
This helps me remember that you need to go and pee digoxin and hence it is renally excreted! =D
Remember one and the other one is the other one.. Digitoxin uses the hepatic route of metabolism.
Hola! Me again!
Drugs and their mechanisms can be difficult to remember.. I like pairing the action with the drug name to make it easy. We are doing anti-fungals today (Yaay!)
Mr. Ampho tears holes in the fungal membrane.
Mister rhymes with Nyster and it reminds me of Nystatin. Ampho is Amphotericin.
The word "Squatter" reminds me that Squalene epoxidase is inhibited by terbinafine.
Hey everyone!
We'll be learning about drugs that are used in Parkinson's disease.
Drugs and their mechanisms are hard to remember because they are soo many! I like pairing the action with the drug name to keep it simple!
Hey guys!
Did you know that the right gonadal vein, right suprarenal vein and the right inferior phrenic vein drain into the Inferior Vena Cava?
Really? Then where do the left sided veins drain?
Left renal vein!
How do I remember this? @_@
I use the "RIVer" buzzword to remember Right sided veins drain into the IVC.
The fact that the left gonadal vein (testicular vein) drains in the left renal vein is particularly high yield because 98% of idiopathic varicoceles occur on the left side.
SERMs are Selective estrogen receptor modulators.
They have varied effects on estrogen receptors in different tissues and it might get confusing (especially, effects of different drugs on the endometrium!) Mnemonic to the rescue! ^__^
