Medications

[Vanessa Fry]

Is there a list of the medications that we will need to know for the test? I see the list of Common adverse reactions, but these don’t tell us what each medication does. There are many medications found in the practice test that are not mentioned in the medication portion of this review.

Hi Vanessa,
Unfortunately neither the ABPTRFE, APTA, nor Geriatric section of the APTA provide a resource like this (likely due to the sheer volume of medications). As you study, I would focus on understanding ADRs, drug classes, and implications for older adults vs memorizing specific medications. While it would be helpful to know common cardiac or neurologic medications, focusing on how the study guide is laid out will be the most efficient use of time. Hope this helps and keep up the great work!
