Pharmacology mnemonics:

We have provided here pharmacology mnemonics for diabetes drug classification.

Oral anti-diabetic drug classification:

Pharmacology mnemonics for oral anti-diabetic drug classification- M S D B A T A D S

Explanation:

1. If you are thinking about Type-2 diabetes mellitus, insulin resistance is the main problem.
2. Physical activity can deal with insulin resistance. Body muscle can effectively use the glucose while doing the physical exercise.
3. Cricket is an international game which involves physical activity helpful for diabetics also (Link). Of course every out door game involves physical activity/exercise. For this purpose I used cricket.
4. Mahendra Singh Dhoni, a famous Indian cricketer. (Keyword(MSD)- M S Dhoni).
5. Cricket is played using a bat (Keyword(BAT)- BAT)
6. MS Dhoni, a famous Indian cricketer and captain, most deserved player for branding the advertisements (Keyword(ADS)- ADvertisementS)

Now the anti-diabetics drug classification mnemonic created by these keywords. (Mahendra Singh Dhoni, BAT, Advertisements)

Mahendra Singh Dhoni, BAT, ADS

M- Meglitinides/Phenylalanine analouges

S-Sulfonyl ureas

D- DPP4 (Dipeptidyl Peptidase-4) Inhibitors

B- Biguanides

T- Thiazolidinediones

A- Alpha(a) Glucosidase Inhibitors (‘A’ from BAT, written here)

A- Amylin analogues

D- Dopamine 2 (D2) receptor agonist

S- Sodium Glucose Co-transporter 2 (SGLT-2) inhibitors.

Note: M S D drugs enhance the insulin secretion,

B T ( B- Biguanides & Thiazolidinediones) helps to overcome the insulin resistance.

Remaining A A D S drugs miscellaneous drugs having different types of mechanism of action.

I hope by this explanation, you definitely remember the diabetic drug classification forever.

Remember, anyone can make mnemonics, it is not a tough job. But creating a remembering link between mnemonics and its information matters here.

Pharmacology mnemonics- CHF drug classification:

Pharmacology mnemonics for (Congestive Heart Failure) CHF Drug classification for   provided here.

CHF drug classification:

Pharmacology mnemonics for CHF drug classification- A A  A V A  H B T  C S P

Explanation:

1. I followed a different procedure to create this mnemonic. I considered a sequential procedure of a Congestive heart person(from ischemic heart disease point of view). It starts from disease(medical condition) mechanism to its treatment.
2. Congestive heart failure may be due to systolic dysfunction or due to diastolic dysfunction. Ischemic Heart Disease is also a reason for CHF.
3. Coronary arteries supply oxygenated blood to the heart muscles. When fat(plaque) deposited on the coronary artery, blood flow is restricted to reach heart muscle. (Keyword- Abnormal artery). It leads to abnormal vascular activity. Due to block in the artery, it is not supplying blood to in normal manner. (Keyword- Abnormal vascular activity)
4. If any symptoms experienced by the patient, he has to be tested, the doctor would recommend angiogram (Key word-Heart block test angiogram)
5. Block is detected, so the patient has to under go operation for stent placement as a treatment option. (Key word- Cardiac stent placement)

Now Congestive heart failure created by all these keywords.

Abnormal Artery leads to Abnormal Vascular Activity leads to Heart Block Test Angiogram leads to Cardiac Stent Placement (A A A V A H B T C S P)

Remember, I have used Abnormal Artery (A A) instead of Abnormal Coronary Artery (ACP) at the starting letters of mnemonics.

A- ACE inhibitors (Renin angiotensin inhibitor)

A- Angiotensin (AT1) receptor inhibitor (Renin angiotensin inhibitor)

A- Arteriolar vasodilator

V- Venodilators

A- Arteriolar+ Venodilators

H- High ceiling loop diuretics

B- Beta (b) adrenergic blockers

T- Thiazide like diuretics

A- Aldosterone antagonists

C- Cardiac glycosides

S- Sympathomimetics

P- PDE3(Phosphodiesterase) inhibitors.
