Welcome to Rosam Franklin University College of Pharmacy Top 200 Drugs podcast.

This podcast is produced by the pharmacy faculty members to supplement study material for students learning the top 200 drugs.

We're hoping that our real-life clinical pearls and discussions from practicing pharmacists

will help you study for your next drug quiz.

And now on to the show.

Welcome to week five of Rosalind Franklin University's Top 200 Dr. Podcast.
