<strong>Top</strong> Drug List<br />
The attached list represents most of the drugs you will encounter as interns, techs, and later as pharmacists. You will also encounter them<br />
repeatedly throughout the curriculum. At the conclusion of the first semester, you will be expected to know the commercial (trade) name and<br />
generic name of each drug and to be able to spell them correctly. You will also be expected to know the therapeutic category for each drug.<br />
The sooner you start learning this information, the easier your first and subsequent semesters will be.<br />
Abbreviations in parentheses indicate an alternate dosage form of the drug. Abbreviations are listed at the bottom of this document<br />
