Paramedic Drug Dosage Study Cards
Mosby’s Drug cards are a great way to memorize the various medications that a Paramedic will encounter on the job. However, the below is FREE drug study alternative that is intended to aid Paramedic Students in memorizing the dosages for the various Paramedic medications that are required for paramedics to do their job. Simply mouse over or tap the below card and the reverse side will include the dosage for that medication. Each card also includes a link to a drug information page for each card.
If there is a drug that is not included here, or if there is information that is either wrong or not valid then please simply fill out the form below and include the information you would like to see here and the page will be updated with a flip card and corresponding drug information page. If this tool was useful, then please like and share it across whatever platform you enjoy using.
