Treatment for the conditions described in this material is highly dependent on the individual circumstances. And, while

this material is designed to offer accurate information with respect to the subject matter covered and to be current as of

the time it was written, research and knowledge about medical and health issues is constantly evolving and dose schedules

for medications are being revised continually, with new side effects recognized and accounted for regularly. Readers

information and data sheets provided by the manufacturers and the most recent codes of conduct and safety regulation.
