Cialis tadalafil
CalanVerapramil oral
Catapress Clonidine
Desmopressin DDAVP (Desmopressin Acetate Tablets)
Digoxin

Nardil (MAOI)
Neoral
Parnate (MAOI)
Remeron
Tegretal
Theo-Dur
Tridil
Vasotec
Viagra
Zoloft
Zrytec
Also know your illegal drugs because people do self medicate. And some people
have mentioned there were some herbs on the NCLEX. I have a website with the
major illegal drugs and herbs:
caring4you.net/herbs.html
I am of the opinion, since we live in a Capitalistic society, if it does not make money
for the pharmaceutical companies, then it has less of a chance of being on the
NCLEX. However this is NOT always the case. Lots of the meds listed above are not
on the list I am about to tell you about. So, what meds should you know for the
NCLEX?

1). Know the meds listed above or any other meds others may post in the
comments.
2). Start writing down medications that you see on TV commercials.
3). Know the top 10 most prescribed medications. (link below)
4). Know the top 10 best selling medications. (link below)
5). Watch my youtube videos (posted below)
6). Listen to my podcast on itunes about Beta Blockers
www.apple.com/itunes/affiliates/download/?id=408661629 EPISODE 63. Or on
talkshoe www.talkshoe.com/talkshoe/web/talkCast.jsp?masterId=22608&cmd=tc

Does NCSBN use generic and trade names of items with medications?
And the answer is: "...the NCLEX examination will reflect, on most occasions, the
use of generic medication names only..."
Yep, this is something brand new and hot off the presses! The reason why NCLEX is
going to use only generic names of medication is because "the use of the
medication generic name is more consistent while a brand/trade medication name
may vary."
While there is no date for when this is going to start, ( THIS JUST IN, IT STARTED
NOVEMBER 2014 FOR ALL NURSES ) I think it would be a really good idea to make
sure you know the generic names for all medications. (So, it wasn't a rumor after
all! Good to know.)
Here is what I tell the people that I tutor:
1). Don't worry about memorizing the top 200 meds -- impossible.
2) Don't worry about what exactly the med is. (i.e. Beta 1 Beta 1 Calcium channel
blockers -- who cares, just know it is a heart med.
Do know what the med is for and then take it from there:
1) pain killers
2) Cholesterol lowering drugs
3) Blood pressure meds

4) Thyriod Meds
5) Angina / Blood Pressure
6) Antacids
7) Antibiotics
8) Diabetes
9). Antidirectics
10) Blood thinners
11) Asmatic Meds
12). Psych Meds
13). Amemic Meds
14) etc
These suffixes work with some meds but not many.
MEDICATION SUFFIXES
caine= local anesthetics
cillin & line= antibiotics
dine= anti-ulcer agents
done= opiod analgesics
ide= oral hypoglycemics
iam= antianxiety agents
micin and line= antibiotics
nium= neuromuscular blocking agents
olol= beta blockers
ole= anti-fungal
oxacin= antibiotics
pam= antianxiety agents
pril= ace inhibitors
sone= steroids
statin= antihyperlipidemics
vir= antivirals
zide= diuretics
ine= alkloids ( Alkaloid, any of a class of naturally occurring organic nitrogencontaining bases. Alkaloids have diverse and important physiological effects on
humans and other animals. Well-known alkaloids include morphine, strychnine,
quinine, ephedrine, nicotine and caffeine )

By the way every 10 years they do a study on the top most prescribed drugs and
the top to best selling meds which I tell the people that I tutor. But one thing is for
sure, know the generic names of the common meds not the brand name.
