Drug Atlas — Guide and Features
The Drug Atlas is your structured reference for 196 exam-relevant active ingredients. Each entry includes Indication, Dosage, Contraindications, ADRs, and Interactions — ideal for KP Preparation and as a quick reference in daily Ward Rounds.
What is the Drug Atlas?
The Drug Atlas is a curated Knowledge database with 196 fully documented active ingredients. Unlike classic Red List entries or confusing specialist information, here you receive a clearly structured overview for each active ingredient, containing exactly the information you need for the Kenntnisprüfung and clinical practice — no more, no less.
All exam-relevant active ingredient groups are covered: ACE inhibitors, beta-blockers, Antibiotics, anticoagulants, analgesics, and other central drug classes in Internal Medicine, Surgery, Neurology, and Psychiatry. The structure follows the typical KP exam pattern, allowing you not only to look up content but also to actively learn it. The Atlas is free to use without registration.

Step-by-step: How to use the Drug Atlas
- Open Atlas: Go to /arzneimittelatlas/ — no login required.
- Search for active ingredient: Enter either the active ingredient name (Metoprolol) or the trade name (Beloc) into the search.
- Open entry: Click on the active ingredient to load the structured detail page.
- Go through sections: Work through the fields Indication → Dosage → Contraindications → ADRs → Interactions in order.
- Save as bookmark: Each active ingredient page has a permanent URL — simply bookmark it or share the link.
- Use cross-references: For example, when Learning ACE inhibitors, look at several representatives directly (Ramipril, Enalapril, Lisinopril) to recognize the pattern.
Tips and Best Practices
- Learn active ingredient groups instead of individual substances: The KP asks about groups. Learn the characteristics of a group; often, knowing one representative is sufficient.
- Actively query Contraindications: Cover the answer and reconstruct absolute vs. relative CIs yourself — this is exactly the exam logic.
- Recognize ADR patterns: Many ADRs are group-specific (e.g., dry cough with ACE inhibitors, bradycardia with beta-blockers) — memorize pattern signatures.
- Test in daily Ward Rounds: If you see a preparation during the Ward Round that you don’t know, look it up immediately in the Atlas — this helps retain Knowledge.
- Combine with Quizzes: Supplement looking up information with active quizzing in the Kennti course Quizzes.
