“medications 101”
Wow, where do I begin? Let’s just say I’m glad I have the opportunity to become familiar with pharmacology before I have to take exams on it in school. This section will begin a mini-series I will be doing throughout the course of SJS. In this post we’re going to look at the medication ending, -lol.
When I first heard the medication name “metoprolol”, I remember thinking “well social media’s definitely made that easy for me to remember.” I soon noticed that there were a lot more medications with this ending and quickly thought twice. After realizing these medications were often being prescribed to treat patients with conditions like hypertension and hyperthyroidism, I became inquisitive about their function and relation to each other.
