• MemoryPharm → Are you a visual learner? Then this is for you! This site mixes art and humor to simplify complex pharmacy topics and reviews all there is to know about medications, disease states, and labs. It also provides tons of studying tips, especially memory tips. Also, their store has lots of resources you can buy including Top 200 Drugs Coloring Book, Antibiotics Coloring Book, Mnemonic Workbooks, and more!: https://www.memory-pharm.com/study-topics/

• MedComic → Here is another site that uses comics to help teach you about different disease states! Like MemoryPharm, they also sell some books to help visually absorb certain disease states (not pharmacology). However, their “Archive” section on their websites provides some of that info for free. Just note, that the free selection is limited: https://www.medcomic.com/medcomic 

• **Pharmacology Tables** - Personal notes from a student who studied from RxPrep 2021, so you may need to update information. However, this should give you a good idea on how to approach studying each disease state: https://www.scribd.com/document/493603800/RXPREP-TABLES

I highly encourage you to play around with the buttons to get familiar with the exam software’s functions/capabilities. It has the EXACT calculator you will be using on the exam. Due note that I don’t think that “scratch pad” was there when I took the Naplex: https://www.pearsonvue.com/athena/athena.asp

TOP 300 → Remembering Top 200-300 drugs is hard, because it’s…well…a lot. You have to know BOTH brand/generic names provided in RxPrep, although Naplex typically favors brand names (generics are often easier to remember due to similar suffixes). I personally like to associate names with a song/history (like understanding the background or story behind it)/image (like picmonic)/similar words (i.e. hypotonic cells are fat like hippos) that help me remember them better. In general, first memorize the drug classes used to treat each disease state and the common side effects/med safety info (contraindications, black box warnings, teratogenicity, etc.) by drug class, then remember the brand names and the suffixes associated with each drug class (remember that generics within the same drug class tend to have the same suffix), then memorize the any generic names that do not have a similar suffix as well as any unique side effects/med safety info that are bolded/highlighted or mentioned in the RxPrep videos. Here are some links that might help assist with memorizing brand/generic. Note that they just cover SOME of the most common drugs, but not all the ones you need to know.

HIV Info → RxPrep has WAYYYY too much info on this than you need and doesn't simplify it in a way that is great for studying for the Naplex, especially for memorizing brand/generic. However, it is still a very popular topic that Naplex likes to test on most exams. Please use the following link to guide you on how to approach studying the HIV section (or see section below this guide): https://sites.google.com/view/pharmaprep75/guide-to-naplex/a-guide-to-hiv-regimen-rules-and-memorization-tips-for-naplex?authuser=0 

Asthma/COPD → Besides knowing the obvious (MOA, Intx, side effects, and counseling points), you should know the difference between the treatment of Asthma/COPD (Hint: It is mentioned in the videos), the brand/generic, general dosing (in terms of how many puffs/inhalations you need per dose/day), and the differences in terms of how you operate each device (priming, puff/inhalation technique, and cleaning).

Dyslipidemia Info (simplified): https://mutalikpharmacology.com/2020/02/06/hypolipidemic-drugs/ 

DOSING→ DO NOT focus your time on memorizing all the dosing except for whatever RxPrep tells you to and the following: dyslipidemia, hypertension, APAP and IBU dosing (adult vs. pediatric), anticoag, cardiology, and OI prophylaxis

Key Drugs Guy/Study Tip Gal on Quizlets → You can find more flashcards by searching “key drugs guy” and “study tip gal” on Quizlet. I put a couple of them below:

• https://quizlet.com/815331657/naplex-key-drug-guy-flash-cards/

Compounding → Both RxPrep and PNN are very basic info, but not very detailed. You would need to be more thorough when studying for MPJE. You should focus most of your attention to “The Basics” compounding chapter in RxPrep, stability and degradation, excipients (some patients cannot have certain excipients due to their disease state), hazardous drugs (be able to recognize them), BUD, garbing, cleaning/spills, storage, and documentation
