Everything you need to know about antibiotics including Side effects and important notes

All healthcare workers (Doctors, Nurses, or Pharmacists) deal with antibiotics on daily basis. They are the cornerstone of treating most patients, as infections are the most common reason for admission.

To tackle the challenge of memorizing all antibiotics, we will understand their mechanism of actions first. Then, we'll mention everything you need to know for the clinical practice. At the end of each section we'll mention all the important notes for exams.

Revision-Cards: you can access these PDF cards at the end of each section. They contain all the information we discussed and more. Having these cards on your phone or PC helps you look-up any information on-the-go. Convenient for memorization.

Quizzes: at the end of our journey we'll have a long quiz that we'll take together. We'll explain our choices and talk about important notes. The quiz will help us memorize everything smoothly. A PDF with all quizzes and answers is downloadable and printer-friendly.
