The authors, editor, and publisher have made every effort to provide accurate information. However, they are

not responsible for errors, omissions, or for any outcomes related to the use of the contents of this book and

take no responsibility for the use of the products described. Treatments and side effects described in this book

may not be applicable to all patients; likewise, some patients may require a dose or experience a side effect that

is not described herein. The reader should confer with his or her own physician regarding specific treatments

and side effects. Drugs and medical devices are discussed that may have limited availability controlled by the

Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for use only in a research study or clinical trial. The drug information

presented has been derived from reference sources, recently published data, and pharmaceutical research data.

Research, clinical practice, and government regulations often change the accepted standard in this field. When

consideration is being given to use of any drug in the clinical setting, the health care provider or reader is

responsible for determining FDA status of the drug, reading the package insert, reviewing prescribing informa-

tion for the most up-to-date recommendations on dose, precautions, and contraindications, and determining

the appropriate usage for the product. This is especially important in the case of drugs that are new or seldom

used.
