Benzodiazepines Mnemonic for Nursing Pharmacology (NCLEX) | NCLEX

Study this Benzodiazepines mnemonic for NCLEX and other mnemonics with Pixorize.

Benzodiazepines, or benzos for short, are a large class of drugs with drug names that end in -pam, like clonazepam and lorazepam, names that end in -lam, like midazolam and alprazolam, as well as chlordiazepoxide. Benzodiazepines are central nervous system depressants, meaning they slow the brain down and reduce brain activity. This is helpful in treating anxiety, treating seizures, as well as treating the symptoms of alcohol withdrawal. Benzodiazepines cause sedation, to the point where some benzodiazepines may even be used to treat insomnia. Benzodiazepines can also cause respiratory depression, if taken in excess or if taken with other CNS depressants like alcohol or opioids. Benzodiazepines can cause tolerance and dependence, and if possible, the drug should be tapered down slowly to avoid withdrawal symptoms. If respiratory depression or other toxic effects of benzodiazepines do occur, flumazenil is the antidote used and can reverse the effects of benzodiazepines.

Whoever created this video, I wanna say thank you!! I got a pharm exam in a few days and you guys saved my life. Now I am able to understand the concepts of each medication more easily now. Now I’m starting to fall in love with medications

[Mariabarlow]

Your videos are extremely helpful, especially with my learning style!!! I have ingested so much by watching just three of your videos. Pharmacology doesn't intimidate me as much now. Thank you!!!

Just to jog your mnemonic regarding PAM ending meds. DMV requires truckers a specific type of driver's license called CDL (Commercial Driver's License) to operate & haul these Benz cars to deliver it to the dealership.

I’m mostly bedridden, but my situation is different from others. I have physical weakness by nature, so I’ve had torn ligaments and tendons due to muscle weakness. I tear ligaments and tendons easily. My body is as fragile as glass.
