Cafer’s Psychopharmacology: Visualize to Memorize 270 Medication Mascots

“Brilliant! Dr. Cafer has done the impossible – made psychopharmacology fun. What a burst of creativity and humor! This book will provide a very valuable service for not only psychiatrists, but for physicians of any specialty, nurses, physician assistants, pharmacists and medical students” – Colleen Loehr, MD “This is amazing! You have outdone Stahl”– Rob Hunter, MD “A masterpiece!” – Sailaja Bysani, MD “Totally changed the way I learn new medications!!” – Luke Pata, PA-S “Who thought prescriber guides can be fun?!? Dr Cafer’s books are in my work bag and I use them daily” – Gabriele Harrison, PMHNP “This really simplified so many concepts”– Raminder Chhatwal MD Cafer’s Psychopharmacology is an essential resource for any prescriber of psychiatric medication. To help you match trade names with generic names of 270 medications, this book features mascots akin to the Xyzal “Wise Owl” and Myrbetriq Bladder characters. Each medication’s mascot is incorporated into a visual-mnemonic framework designed for recollection of pharmacokinetic interactions. For instance, CYP2C19 substrates are represented as flowers with CYP2C19 inhibitors as watering cans to make the flowers grow. CYP1A2 substrates are trees to be chopped down by axes (CYP1A2 inducers). Lithium is a battery and anything that interferes with its renal excretion is depicted as a battery charger.
