High Yield Topic | FMGE | Malaria and Tuberculosis | Pharmacology

FMGE aspirants — this is a high-yield revision video on two topics that keep showing up in exams: Malaria treatment and Anti-TB drugs (HRZE + resistance). In this video, you’ll revise: ✅ Vivax vs Falciparum (mild vs severe, relapse vs no relapse) ✅ Drug of choice: Vivax → Chloroquine + Primaquine (radical cure) ✅ Drug of choice: Falciparum → ACT (Artemisinin Combination Therapy) ✅ Severe/complicated malaria → IV Artesunate ✅ Pregnancy changes (Primaquine contraindicated, ACT avoided in 1st trimester → Quinine) ✅ ACT types: ASP vs Artemether-Lumefantrine (NE states) Then we jump to Tuberculosis — the exam-favourite: ✅ HRZE basics + bactericidal/static ✅ Key side effects (PZA → hyperuricemia, E → optic neuritis, INH → neuropathy/B6, Rifampicin → orange urine & enzyme induction, S → oto/nephrotoxicity) ✅ Mechanism + resistance genes (KatG for INH, rpoB for Rifampicin) ✅ Definitions: MDR vs pre-XDR vs XDR (very important!) If you want a short, clean, exam-focused revision — this one is for you. #FMGE #FMGE2025 #FMGE2026 #FMGEPreparation #FMGEHighYield #Pharmacology #Malaria #Tuberculosis #ACT #Artesunate #HRZE #MDRTB #XDRTB #MedicalEntrance #CerebellumAcademy
