Notice: The author and the publisher of this work have made every effort to use sources
believed to be reliable to provide information that is accurate and compatible with the
standards generally accepted at the time of publication. Because medical science and the
science of pharmacology are continually advancing, our knowledge base continues to
expand. Therefore, as new information becomes available, changes in treatments and in
the use of drugs become necessary. We recommend that the reader always refer to the
manufacturer’s product information, especially in the case of drug dosages,
contraindications, and administration guidelines before giving any medication. This is
particularly important with new or rarely used drugs. The author and publisher shall not
be liable for any special, consequential, or exemplary damages resulting, in whole or in
part, from the readers’ use of, or reliance on, the information contained in this book.
