Drug Class Flashcards

Updated · 10 free flip cards

These flashcards turn our drug-class guides into a flip-card deck. Each card shows a pharmacologic class; flip it to see the name suffix that identifies the class and a handful of example generic drugs, with the main use as a hint. Placing a drug in its class is one of the most predictable skills on the PTCE.

Once the suffix families are automatic (an unfamiliar -statin is a statin, an unfamiliar -pril is an ACE inhibitor), you can reason your way to a drug's uses and cautions. Shuffle, flip, and mark each class as one you know or one to review.

How to use these flashcards

Flip a card with a click or the spacebar, then sort it as one you know or one to review again. The deck keeps a running count of what you know, so you can drill only the cards you have not mastered yet. Shuffle any time to break the order you have started to memorize by position rather than by content.

Recall practice like this pairs best with active testing. When a deck starts to feel easy, switch to the Drug Class Identification practice test to confirm the knowledge holds up under multiple-choice pressure, or work through the full set of free PTCB practice tests.
