In this series, I will be discussing pharmacology purely from a Step 2 and 3 perspective. For those studying for Step 1, use the Step 1 specific pharmacology podcasts I have. In this series, we start off discussing the drugs used for the primary control of pain like acetaminophen, NSAIDs, and opioids and the diverse ways our friends at the USMLEs love to test them. See you in the next podcast.

I also provide some useful tips here for differentiating the ones associated with red blood cells.
