Description

This episode kicks off Pharmacology November with a focused review of antibiotics that matter most for your boards and practice. I walk through the major drug classes you need to know breaking down their key uses, safety profiles, and those crucial exceptions that show up on exams. 

 

From understanding why Augmentin works when amoxicillin fails to knowing when doxycycline trumps all other options (even in pregnancy), this content review covers the practical decision-making you'll face daily. By the end, you'll have a clearer framework for choosing first-line treatments and knowing exactly when and why to reach for alternatives.
