how do I strengthen pharmacology?

How do I strengthen pharmacology? When I studied, I went from broad to the specific... I made a chart to help me with microbiology; I have also looked the pharm forum for the mnemonics, BUT just can't remember the drugs... I would appreciate any advice, comments, hints,.... thank you.

PS: I don't understand why this subject is troubling me so much now... I did good in pharmacology class in basic sciences. But then again, it was broken down to the different groups and/or areas.

yeah, i too was wondering, how does one memorize so many different drugs? mnemonics, other tricks, or how?

guys i had the same problem which u guys are having but then u know what, i tired different ways..the thing which worked for me is.. FIRST AID..make sure u know in and out of first aid its concise and easy to remember and very high yield stuff ..go through them once really well and then every day try to spendsome time on pharm atleast one hour a day cuz drugs are easy to forget..and then read goljans high yield on pahrm.. and then as u do u questions on q bank or other sources and when u find something which is not the first aid and goljan and u think that is important add it to the first aid.. belive me guys it worked well for me i actually scored prettty well in the pharm section in NBME..i know different things work diffenent for different people so just atleast give it a try guys may be u could benefit from this..thats all guys good luck with ure pharm prep let us know if it worked..
