1.28 -> Okay, my name is Claire and I'm the founder of StudentRDH and

5.069 -> SmarterDA. Today I want to talk about five drugs, okay, five drugs that are

10.95 -> going to be probably in your examination. You know every patient is taking

14.91 -> something in our examination and hypertension is a very common medical

21.33 -> condition in North America. Sorry, I'm bending at the same time trying to show

24.51 -> the drugs so let's try to be okay with this setting, If you can see this or hear

31.8 -> me please give me a thumbs up, so I know. This is live and you can hear me

36.42 -> correctly. Because, we already have some viewers, that's awesome! So let's start

42.36 -> right now with the generic drug. So you know this one, so you can't see my face

47.94 -> anymore but here it is this drug it ends with -olol, like this one atenolol,

55.199 -> so when you see this drug, do you know what this is used for? Do you know what

60.059 -> category of hypertension drug this is? Well, this is how you're going to

65.7 -> memorize it because in StudentRDH I'm trying to give you a lot of tips of how

69.09 -> to memorize things easier, so your life is just a little easier, and you pass

73.17 -> the board examinations. So quickly here I would just turn this around okay and do

82.71 -> this okay so -olol but like kind of you're looking in a mirror in the opposite

87.72 -> direction and then what that gives you is a B and a B. What is this a beta

92.909 -> blocker. You understand, so if you see this, reverse it and say, okay this is a beta

98.61 -> blocker. Easy to remember, right? Now let's look at this -pine, PINE, it ends

106.38 -> like this like this drug you see and you'll see a lot in your examination. So

112.74 -> here, how do I know that this is a calcium channel blocker? What I do is, and this

120.39 -> has nothing to do with the real facts but I just think about Cal, California.

126.26 -> Okay, and then I think about a beautiful pine tree that I saw in California, and

132.95 -> this is how the memory works, the weirder it is, like Alice in Wonderland, the

137.84 -> better it is and this I'm forcing it a little bit, that's telling you California

142.37 -> when public pine trees are not really in California but at least you can remember

146.06 -> Claire told me this stupid story that there was a lot of pine trees in California which

150.8 -> is not even true. So when I see pine, okay now this pine tree you may remember

156.7 -> sorry not CAL but calcium channel blocker because you need to know those

164.15 -> categories for the pharmacology part of examination also is for examination

168.74 -> probably. Okay -IDE, things that ends with IDE such as this drug or diuretic how do

178.76 -> you know this is a diuretic well just find a clue right here you see the "D"

184.16 -> and this "I" and spell diuretic DI, sorry, the marker is dying and I'm

193.31 -> going to skip the rest of the spelling but do you see the DI and you see it

198.8 -> here and the memory is all about finding clues to how to memorize this like when

203.57 -> you're driving you are turning right and you're turning left and you remember

208.43 -> this building. You remember that you have your coffee with this friend at this

211.97 -> coffee shop then remember that the McDonald's was there and then you

215.87 -> remember, okay the school, my new school is kind of around the corner so

219.89 -> you have to find markers and this is what we just did find the marker IDE

224.66 -> while you find the D and the I and you're like okay this is a diuretic.

228.47 -> I hope this make sense if it does give it a thumbs up or something so I know

232.7 -> this is going well, okay next almost to the end -pril, PRIL like in this drug

240.44 -> lisinopril. You'll see this a lot in your actual medical conditions of your,

245.68 -> thank you for the thumbs up, in the school examination but also in clinics

252.73 -> so how do I know that this is related to an

258.38 -> ace inhibitor. Well this is just what I do,

261.86 -> I see -pril and I feel like there's one letter that's missing in this part we

267.32 -> have January, February, March, and April and I know this letter "A" is going to

276.02 -> give me the code that this is an ACE Inhibitor. Does that make sense? Again things

282.89 -> that has nothing to do with real facts but things are going to help you

287.06 -> remember. Okay, the last one is -tan how do I know that this is a ARB? Well, what does

295.4 -> ARB sounds like? It actually sounds like arm to me, ARM like my arm, my

304.67 -> right arm I'm writing with, and if you can see I have a slight tan, okay, it's summer

312.62 -> right now I try really hard to tan better I'm not a good Tanner actually I

317.12 -> turn red and turn you know like I lose my colors again so now I remember things

325 -> that end with -tan, TAN, you know this is a ARB. you think about the arms. So let

332.24 -> me just let me just recap really quickly right now, -olol you write it opposite

339.08 -> like you're in the mirror and it's going to give you an -olol and if you put

343.79 -> those two together there's going to be a B and a B, drugs that end with this are

349.75 -> beta-blockers. -PINE like this drug, how do I know that this is a

357.35 -> calcium channel blocker? Well, pine, I think about California

362.69 -> I saw massive land of pine, doesn't make sense again but you think is, just

368.15 -> imagine that and you can you mention that I actually lied to you because I

372.38 -> don't even know about that. You're going to remember in your exam, you see this I

376.25 -> said, okay I remember the stupid thing Claire told me this is California okay starts with calcium channel blocker now, -IDE it's about finding the clues

387.05 -> where you see them you see the D, and the I, you could say okay this is a diuretic

393.9 -> -PRIL this is an ACE inhibitor because I feel like there's a letter that's

401.59 -> missing here which was the "A" gives me the clue of ACE. And then the last

407.02 -> one -tan, okay now remember my arm is tan or hopefully your arm is a little more

413.26 -> tan than mine and you think about arm which is going to translate into ARB.

419.5 -> I hope this all makes sense to you and if you have any questions you can always

424.42 -> email me at [email protected] and if you know more, if you

430.78 -> want to know more about the dental hygiene boards, you can of course go to

433.66 -> the website, studentrdh.com and find the mini reviews or you can see

439.33 -> some goals that are posted already and i'm going to do this again on youtube so

444.31 -> you can watch it again and again without the whiteboard but me. actually with some

447.79 -> power points so it's actually a little easier to do but i was trying to engage

451.66 -> you guys, and if you have any questions right now, you can do it you can just put

456.58 -> a comment on it saying, you know I liked it, I understand. Now I understand things

461.53 -> a little better, I can memorize it or if you don't, you know, that's why, let me

466.36 -> know and I'll come up with better things to do for you to memorize things because
