General Pharmacology Drug Classes
NEET-PGAIIMSFMGE
Yaad Karne ki List
- Antibiotics (β-lactams, Macrolides, Aminoglycosides, Fluoroquinolones, Tetracyclines)
- Antihypertensives (ACE inhibitors, ARBs, CCBs, β-blockers, Diuretics)
- Analgesics (NSAIDs, Opioids, Paracetamol)
- Antidiabetics (Insulin, Metformin, Sulfonylureas, DPP4i, SGLT2i)
- Antiepileptics (Phenytoin, Carbamazepine, Valproate, Levetiracetam)
- Antipsychotics (Typical: Haloperidol; Atypical: Olanzapine, Risperidone)
- Anticoagulants (Heparin, Warfarin, DOACs)
Mnemonic Tricks
Kaise Map Hota Hai
| Cue | Maps To |
|---|---|
| A | ACE inhibitors / ARBs (-pril, -sartan) |
| B | Beta-blockers (-olol) |
| C | Calcium Channel Blockers (-dipine) |
| D | Diuretics (Thiazides, Loop) |
Kyun Yaad Rehta Hai
ABCD BHS/NICE treatment algorithm ka step order follow karta hai — yeh sirf memory trick nahi, actual clinical guideline hai.
Aksar Poochhe Jaane Wale Sawaal
Pharmacology mein drug classes kaise yaad karein?
Suffixes se shuru karo: -pril (ACE inhibitors), -sartan (ARBs), -olol (beta-blockers), -dipine (CCBs). Phir ABCD mnemonic antihypertensives ke liye.
NEET-PG ke liye sabse important drug classes kaunsi hain?
Focus karo: Antibiotics, Antihypertensives (ABCD), Antidiabetics, Analgesics, aur Antiepileptics. Yeh 60%+ pharmacology questions cover karte hain.
Antihypertensives ka ABCD kya hai?
A = ACE inhibitors/ARBs, B = Beta-blockers, C = CCBs, D = Diuretics. NICE guidelines step therapy follow karta hai.
Antibiotic mechanisms kaise yaad karein?
Cell wall: β-lactams. Protein synthesis (30S): Aminoglycosides, Tetracyclines. (50S): Macrolides. DNA/RNA: Fluoroquinolones, Rifampin.
