Use the left and right arrow keys to move between steps. Practice next in the Neurologic Drugs Lab. Drugs are named by generic name and class only; this page gives no doses. Channels, receptors and molecules are drawn as simple shapes, and fast events are slowed down (slow ones sped up) so you can watch them. Always follow the prescriber, the label and your facility's protocol.
