Tues, Oct 26th

Here are a couple from the hyperlipidemics since we skipped them last meeting.

Bile Acid sequestrants
(cholestipol, cholestyramine, colesevelam)
- on the USMLE, we're going to be given these drugs and we'll have to know if they are bile acid sequestrants.

mn
- the drugs start with 'chol' meaning they work in the colon
Once you know their mode of action, you can figure out what happens to the VLDL, LDL, & HDL.


Ezetimibe 
- blocks the cholesterol transporter in the GI

mn
- I just think of it acting according to the EZest mechanism out there. The drug doesn't bother entering the blood, hepatocytes, or endothelial cells; it just stays in the GI and does its work there.



These are all the mnemonics I have for hyperlipidemics. If you guys have anything else, please post!


Antibacterials
- from First Aid

B lactamase resistant (2nd generation penicillins)
- Kaplan is great for this. They give you an understanding of why these drugs were created in the first place....to combat those microbes producing B lactamases!

mn (for the main bug it's used for)
- naf is for Staph (not MRSA though)

Herbal Medicine is just as good when drinking it although i have to use the restroom after drinking it which I don't really care about because i just want to get the virus out of my body, I will recommend Dr Itua to anyone sick out here to contact Dr Itua with this following information.

    He might be late to respond because he is always busy with patents, but he will surely get back to you with a positive response.
