The agony is acute with medical students who are preparing for their USMLE (United Sates Medical Licensing Examination)step #1 on pharmacology. What they currently have as a textbook as general are too cumbersome to digest in a short period of time. Here comes the urgency of this booklet aimed at providing an enough yet concise content of pharmacology that will lighten their burden and assist them to pass the test. To save time of the readers, only focal points in each topic are presented; each drug is presented with major indication(s), mechanism of action(s) if well established, and salient side effect(s) and metabolic fate(s) if worthy to note. The use of trade names (brand names or product names) of drugs, which are created more for commerce purpose than for science, is avoided in favor of the officially recognized generic names, which are used in medical schools, teaching hospitals, and on the USMLE.
