third parties not afiliated in any way with ACCP. ACCP assumes no liability for material

NOTE: The editors and publisher of PedSAP recognize that the development of this volume of
material offers many opportunities for error. Despite our best efforts, some errors may
persist into publication. Drug dosage schedules are, we believe, accurate and in accordance
with current standards. Readers are advised, however, to check package inserts for the
recommended dosages and contraindications. This is especially important for new,
infrequently used, and highly toxic drugs.
