Real Life Pharmacology - Pharmacology Education For Health Care Professionals

On this episode of the Real Life Pharmacology podcast, I discuss drugs 6-10 of the top 200 drugs. Included in this podcast episode are two antibiotics that are frequently used in pediatrics. Those two antibiotics are azithromycin and amoxicillin. Alprazolam is a benzodiazepine. It is a controlled substance that is used for the acute relief of anxiety. It is not well tolerated in the elderly. Hydrochlorothiaizde is a thiazide diuretic used primarily for hypertension. It can exacerbate gout and cause frequent urination. Amlodipine is a dihydropyridine calcium channel blocker. The most important adverse effect to remember with this medication is edema.
