Important extracts from the Naplex digest, pharmpreponline & APhA

[ginas202]

Hey guys... Finally I read everything from pharmpreponline material, APhA and Naplex digest. I feel so confused, so i definitely need two to three times review of everything. I think I read too much and that confuses me.

I want to share some odd things that you should keep in eye or where you can be tricked by NAPLEX. Since I should not waste too much time, I will type only stuff that I think it's important......

Please contribute your odd things... real real odd......

Three beta-blockers are common in HF and HTN.

Carv Me to Biscuit (trick to remember : copied from naplex digest)

Carv = Carvidilol
Me = Metoprolol Succinate (ONLY -> remember tartrate is only selective used for the HTN, it is never ever prescribed for the HF)
Tartrate = Lopresser; Succinate = Toprol XL (SOURCE: APHA)
Bis = Bisprolol

Carv & Me are top 200 drugs so you must remember the max doses. REMEMBER BOTH DRUG HAVE A DIFFERENT MAX DOSES ACCORDING TO THEIR USE.... (SOURCE: APHA)

in HF:
carv : 100 mg
Me : 200 mg

in HTN:
carv : 50 mg
Me : 400 mg

Best luck guys....
