Naplex important topics

Hi,

I took naplex 2 months ago and got only 65.i felt the exam was so easy including calculation part.The next day when I checked most of my questions were correct.The samething happened with few of my friends,but I know one friend did BS in USA took exam last month,was so scared as she got so many tough questions,but scored 143.

So what I understood is I might have done my tough and moderate questions wrong,thatwhy I got so many easy questions,eventhough I did easyones correct, they scored only few points.

So if u do so many tough questions correct,there r good chances of passing.

With my experience I feel the following r few of the imp topics for naplex



.OTC-pain killers, antacids, lice killing, hemarroids,laxatives
  • Dosage forms available – exclusive ones like,zpack,imitrex,zyprexazydus, injections (roa),capsules can be spinkled onto food.,disintegtating tab,powders.
  • ADR – induction inhibition, for common side effects, severely causing and the least. Ex: most sedating anti histamines and non-sedating, tb drugs vs hepatitis
  • chemodrugs-causing nausea or alopecia severly
  • drugs need vitamin supplementation,most common vitamins-dose in specific deseas like osteporosis.
  • simple questions on herbals-uses,contra.
  • labeling-with or without food,tyramine,maoi,refrigerate.take bedtime –not or before breakfast,
  • patient conselling-on asthma devices,reconstitution,oral vs intra nasal inhalations,(insert demonstrative pronoun here) coloration of urine,about appearance of capsule particles in stool.
  • nicotine-dosageforms,weight reduction treatment.
  • alternate treatments-migraine,shcyzophrenia ,penicillin allergy.
  • exclusive sideeffects for drugs- like lacticacidisis,hemorragiccystitis,rednecksyndrome, reynaulds phenomin,reyes syndrome.
  • pruritis,onychimycosos,rosacea,pcp,acne, treat,symptoms
  • reference sources-compounding,pill identifiucation.etc.
  • peoper techniques for using devices like peak flow meter readings,asthama devices.glucose meters.
  • diabetics-with or without food.hypoglycemia with alcohol,exercise,hypoglycemia treatment sugar is ok for all drugs except precose.
  • TBdrugs vs hepatitis
  • vaccines -schedule for infants,used and contra in pregnancy,healthworkers,aids patients and,their brand names like prevnar,IPBS,u can get this inf online at www.cdc.gov
  • potassium-so many brand available,know the difference.
  • new drugs like-neulasta,epogen,neupogen,humira,boniva,lunesta.,
  • C.difficle,taxoplasmosis,BPH.
  • Monitering therapy for drugs like tb drugs,methotrexate,heparin,warfarin etc.
These r only very few,i feel happy if this information helps u in passing the exam.
best of luck.
