Pharmacology is one of the most challenging parts of studying to become a pharmacist. There are so many drugs, and they can affect your body in so many ways, that it’s understandable if the sheer scope of the subject intimidates you. We’ve compiled a list of resources for learning about pharmacology. The resources we mention below may not be as comprehensive as your university textbooks, but they’re designed for those who want to learn or brush up on their knowledge outside of class time. We hope this list is helpful! -Learn about how drugs interact with receptors -Read summaries on different classes of drugs (e.g. seizure control drugs, antidepressants, analgesics (painkillers), central nervous system (CNS) depressants, etc.) -Here is a list of the compounds that are the most commonly tested for pharmacology exams to refresh your memory about what they are and their effects on your body. -Drug information from the NY Times Recommended books: -Chronology of Psychoactive Drugs by David A. Nichols, Michael H. Baumann, and Lyle E. Craker -Cecil Textbook of Medicine by Lee Goldman et. al. -Drugs, Society, and Human Behavior by James H. Woods et. al. -Drug Information by Lee Goldman et. al. -Iatrogenic Therapies by Thomas B. Roberts and Paul H. Akers -The Drugs of the Present" by D Alexander (To boost your knowledge of secondary drugs) Articles related to pharmacology: Recently, a study was published in the "Journal of Pain Research" that attempted to determine if over-the-counter painkillers were more likely to contribute to the development of drug addiction compared with illegal drugs such as heroin and cocaine. The study concluded that yes, over-the-counter painkillers were more likely to contribute to the development of drug addiction than illegal drugs. There is some controversy over this study's findings, however, as many of the individuals recruited for this study were actively seeking treatment for drug addiction. Because of their mental state upon entering the study, it is impossible to determine whether or not they were predisposed to becoming addicted. Regardless of these issues with the data, it does raise an interesting question: what exactly is drug addiction? In a practical sense, it can be defined as a dependence on a specific substance that leads you to take that substance compulsively even though doing so may cause problems in your life. cfa1e77820
