Top 200 Drugs Pharmacology Podcast – Dru...

ERIC CHRISTIANSON, PHARMD; PHARMACOLOGY EXPERT AND CLINICAL PHARMACIST
About this episode

In this episode of the Real Life Pharmacology podcast, I cover drugs 16-20 of the top 200 drugs. This podcast includes information about clozapine, furosemide, heparin, tetracycline, and vardenafil.

Clozapine has five boxed warnings and these are all items that you may see on your pharmacology and board exams! I’ve also blogged about these in the past at meded101.

Furosemide is a loop diuretic and a common indicator of the prescribing cascade. I discuss this in this podcast episode.

Heparin can cause thrombocytopenia. I discuss what HIT (heparin-induced thrombocytopenia) may look like.
