(Lisinopril, Metformin, Furosemide, Warfarin, Morphine, Albuterol, Digoxin, Prednisone, Amoxicillin, Sertraline)

Flashcards

Write drug names on one side and key info (class, use, side effects) on the other. Quiz yourself daily.

Visual Charts

Color-coded charts grouping medications by class or body system help reinforce memory through visual learning.

Teach Back

Explain drug info to a study partner or even out loud to yourself. Teaching strengthens retention.

Repetition and Spaced Review

Review medication lists frequently over days and weeks rather than cramming.
