Pharmacology revision checklist for NEET PG, INI-CET & FMGE

Every topic broken into what's actually asked from it. Tick what you've already studied — mark it Shaky if you'd fumble it under exam pressure.

Autonomic Nervous System

Cholinergic Agonists and Muscarinic Actions

2 points

Muscarinic actions and methacholine receptor target

Cholinomimetic uses and the COPD retention trap

General Pharmacology

Adverse Drug Reactions and Pharmacogenetics

3 points

Pharmacogenetic versus non-genetic adverse reactions

Drug-induced nail pigmentation and hyperthermia triggers

Odour-based identification of ingested poison

Apparent Volume of Distribution

2 points

Low Vd means plasma confinement, not tissue binding

Large Vd signals deep-tissue sequestration

Bioavailability, AUC and First-Pass Effect

3 points

Oral bioavailability as AUC-oral over AUC-IV

Routes that escape hepatic first-pass metabolism

Plasma curve and AUC drug-interaction reading

Clinical Trial Phases and Design

3 points

Phase I first-in-human safety and dose finding

Phase III comparative efficacy and Phase IV surveillance

Multicentre RCT design and evidence hierarchy

Dose-Response Curves, Potency and Efficacy

2 points

Potency and efficacy read from a graded dose-response graph

Competitive versus non-competitive antagonist curve shift

Drug Design, Development and Prohibited Substances

2 points

Rational structure-based design and its bottleneck

IOC-permitted drug and xenodiagnosis identification

Drug Formulation, Storage and Administration

3 points

Cool-place storage temperature range

Enteric coating purpose and regional topical absorption

Eye drop before ointment; timing drugs in lactation

Drug Schedules and Prescription Regulation

3 points

Schedule H, X, G and Z drug identification

Irrational fixed-dose antitussive combination

Mandatory drug advertisement letter contents

Drug Transporters and Protein Binding

3 points

P-glycoprotein: ABC transporter, effects and inducers

Acidic drugs bind albumin; ionisation limits diffusion

Alkaline diuresis and urinary pH ion-trapping

Enzyme Induction/Inhibition Drug Interactions

2 points

Macrolide CYP inhibition precipitates carbamazepine toxicity

Drug-mechanism matching and off-target adverse binding

Essential Medicines and Orphan Drugs

2 points

WHO essential-medicine selection criteria

Orphan drug incentive versus orphan receptor

First-Order Kinetics and Half-Life Calculations

3 points

Half-life computed from Vd and clearance

Fall to target concentration counted in half-lives

Doubling dose leaves half-life unchanged

Loading and Maintenance Dose Kinetics

2 points

Loading dose set by Vd and target level, not clearance

Steady-state level from infusion rate over clearance

Phase I Metabolism and Enzyme Mechanisms

3 points

Suicide (mechanism-based) enzyme inhibition example

Phase I introduces functional groups; prodrug identification

Dicumarol competitively inhibits vitamin K epoxide reductase

Receptor Pharmacodynamics and Bioassay

4 points

Adenylyl cyclase to cAMP to PKA sequence; Gq exception

Adrenergic agonist-antagonist pairs and adrenaline reversal

Guinea-pig ileum bioassay of drug contractility

Reverse, cross and acute tolerance distinctions

Spurious Drugs and Bedside Dose Calculation

2 points

2 points

Basis of pregnancy risk categories A to X

Teratogen to birth-defect matching errors

Therapeutic Index and Safety Margin

2 points

Therapeutic index as TD50 (or LD50) over ED50

Drugs flagged for a narrow therapeutic index
