This work is provided “as is,” and the publisher disclaims any and all warranties, express or
implied, including any warranties as to accuracy, comprehensiveness, or currency of the content of
this work.
This work is no substitute for individual patient assessment based upon healthcare profession-
als' examination of each patient and consideration of, among other things, age, weight, gender,
current or prior medical conditions, medication history, laboratory data and other factors unique to
the patient. The publisher does not provide medical advice or guidance and this work is merely a
reference tool. Healthcare professionals, and not the publisher, are solely responsible for the use
of this work including all medical judgments and for any resulting diagnosis and treatments.
Given continuous, rapid advances in medical science and health information, independent profes-
sional verification of medical diagnoses, indications, appropriate pharmaceutical selections and
dosages, and treatment options should be made and healthcare professionals should consult a
variety of sources. When prescribing medication, healthcare professionals are advised to consult
the product information sheet (the manufacturer's package insert) accompanying each drug to
verify, among other things, conditions of use, warnings and side effects and identify any changes
in dosage schedule or contraindications, particularly if the medication to be administered is new,
infrequently used or has a narrow therapeutic range. To the maximum extent permitted under appli-
cable law, no responsibility is assumed by the publisher for any injury and/or damage to persons or
property, as a matter of products liability, negligence law or otherwise, or from any reference to or
use by any person of this work.
