Must Know G.I. Meds for NCLEX

The biggest lie you’ve been told about pharmacology and the NCLEX is that it’s hard 🤷🏽‍♀️

Pharm isn’t hard when you know what meds to focus on (like these top tier GI meds),how to recognize red flags, and what to actually teach your patients.

Start with the heavy hitters. Learn the patterns.

You don’t need to memorize everything. You just need the right strategy.

Want more pharm support?

Snag my NCLEX Pharmacology Study Cards.They break down the top 80 must-know meds for the NCLEX.
