A drug class you can list is not a drug class you understand. The questions here ask why an interaction happens, which is what an exam and a patient both eventually need.

Dense, mechanism-heavy documents that are the single best source of examinable propositions on any pharmacy course.
Text-heavy reference material that reads cleanly as a PDF and is exactly what a therapeutics assessment draws on.
What you wrote about a real case is the least shareable material you own, and pasting it in takes seconds.
A passage from a pharmaceutics handout, and the card generated from it. Sample material, written by us to show the shape of the output.
Your handout
Pharmaceutics, first-pass metabolism handout.pdf
An orally administered drug passes through the hepatic portal circulation before reaching systemic circulation, so extensive hepatic metabolism reduces bioavailability. Sublingual and rectal routes drain partly into the systemic circulation, bypassing much of that first pass.
The card it writes
Why can a sublingual dose be far smaller than the oral dose of the same drug?
It largely bypasses the hepatic portal circulation, so much less of the dose is metabolised before it reaches the systemic circulation and bioavailability is higher.
The card asks for the consequence of the route rather than the definition of first-pass metabolism, which is how the topic is examined in practice.

Not from a general model of your subject. Only from the document in front of it, which is what makes the questions match your module.
Questions you get wrong join a weak pile and return in the daily review. Mastery lapses after a fortnight, so nothing stays finished forever.
No, and it must not be used that way. There is no drug database, no formulary, and no interaction checker behind it, so it has no independent knowledge of any medicine. Everything in a question comes from the document you uploaded, which means it can ask you why an enzyme inducer reduces the effect of another drug if your handout explains that, and it cannot tell you whether two specific medicines interact. Nor will it calculate or verify a dose. For anything that could reach a patient, the formulary, the interaction checker your practice uses, and a pharmacist remain the answer, and that is true no matter how confident any AI tool sounds. What this is for is learning the mechanisms well enough that you know when to go and look something up.
It handles them as they appear in your material, which usually means embedded in a mechanism rather than listed. A therapeutics handout tends to explain what a class does, why it is chosen for a given indication, and what its characteristic adverse effects are, so those are the propositions available to build questions from. The result is questions like why a particular class is avoided in a particular patient group, rather than questions asking you to recite the members of the class. That is the more useful shape, since the reason is what transfers to an unfamiliar drug in the same class and a memorised list does not. If you want the naked list drilled, pasting the list in will produce exactly that, because it works only with what your document contains.
Pharmacology and therapeutics handouts are the highest-yield material on the course for this, because they are dense, entirely text-based, and written almost entirely in the propositions that make good questions. Formulary extracts and monographs also read well as PDFs. Placement and dispensary notes you typed yourself are worth pasting straight in, since they record the reasoning behind real decisions and exist nowhere else. What works poorly is anything image-heavy, such as a structure diagram or a photographed label, since neither carries readable text. It is also worth uploading a section at a time rather than a whole module pack, because one set of questions spread across two hundred pages samples too thinly to be a useful test of any of it. A single week of teaching is usually the right unit.
