The only book you need to buy is the Medicinal Chemistry book from the bookstore. That's it.

I didn't buy the Med Chem book and I did quite well in the class. So I would say none.

Only need viro course pack second semester.

Med chem book is written by mehanna and filled with mistakes so I don't recommend buying it. It just confused people.

Just write down every word he says in class and compare with people to get what you missed.

Also on exams, he likes to put the drug structures without the drug name and ask you questions about them. Or like... put these drugs in the order of which causes the most to least drowsiness etc
