(Part 2) Reddit mentions: The best pharmacology books

Highly recommend this book:
PTCB Exam Simplified Pharmacy Technician Certification Exam Study Guide https://www.amazon.com/dp/0615883702/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_awd_CwsBwb6V6PP58

Studied for four days using this book only and passed. My advice for you would be to look at the percentage breakdown of the test sections and focus on the sections that have the fewest pages per percent of test. Aka don't memorize drugs lol. Unless you have the time for that then go right ahead! It'll make you a better tech eventually!

How is training going?

I'm just seeing this post now...I wrote a blog post that I think you will find helpful for switching from retail to hospital.


Anticoagulants & Antibiotics two of the biggest areas to focus on.


For drug interactions, nothing beats Hansten & Horn's Top 100 Drug Interactions. I talk about how to use this book to evaluate QTc interactions here.

Drug Information: A Guide for Pharmacists

A MUST have if you really want to understand and critique clinical trials. Since journal clubs are mandatory, it helps you not to look like an idiot on APPE rotations.

*It would have saved a fellow classmate from looking dumb when she agreed with the article's conclusions of a true hypothesis when the POWER wasn't even met*. Did you even listen in bio-stats bro?

All of these are great. The last one is lacking but the most simple of the bunch.

This is the book I used and I was fine on the exam even though it was already a bit outdated when i took the exam in 2011. Contrary to another poster i would just study for the exam, take it and get it over with, then work as a tech...too hard to get hired otherwise..

This book?

Is there any reason you need the 11th edition over the newer versions?

This doesn't answer your question but here is the 11th edition ($5+shipping) and the 13th. 12th ed is also on there for <$10 shipped.

Can you just buy the peripheral brain?
