Did the exam. And guess what? No METHOTREXATE question! Instead, the lecturer put this ~10 marks question on antihistamines, which I knew really well cos I use antihistamines on a regular basis! xD So I put my 2 favourite antihistamines in (Loratidine and Fexofenadine) as the examples. I knew the side effects cos they always make me sleepy and apparently dry mouth (which I don't experience). I take them once a day so the half life must be about 12 hours. And I fully guessed the rest of the columns. Finished the exam. Talked to some people, told them that I probably failed. Went home and tried to forget about it.
Today, the results came out! AND I PASSED :D Thank You Lord!
PS: the lecturer told us the next week after the exam that the Unit Coordinator changed the METHOTREXATE question into antihistamines last minute (2 days before the exam date) cos she thought the MCQ could give us hints on the answer. How "lucky" is that for me?? xD

Yay well done for passing! :)
I thought loratidine is a non-sedating anti-histamine though, so drowsiness isn't one of the side effects...?
I thought so too, but the lecturer said it still does give drowsiness (crosses the blood-brain barrier) to some people (such as me). But both loratidine and fexofenadine are less likely to give drowsiness (with fexo the least likely of all). But I just tried fexo and it still give me drowsiness lol!
thx btw :D
