🧩 Module study guides 13
One guide per module, going deeper than the exam guides. Each one opens with the
big idea, then the whole module boiled down to eight or ten drug classes, then a comparison
table, the red flags, the exam traps, and only then the individual cards. Start at the top and
read down — you do not have to finish one to get something out of it.

⚠️ Two of these are worth extra attention. Phenelzine and phenylephrine were missing from your drug guide until today — they are in now. The phenelzine card has the part that is easy to miss: the tyramine rules keep going for two weeks after the last dose.
Nothing matched that. Try a shorter word — “insulin”, “exam”, “heart”.
