lication. Nevertheless, as new information becomes available, changes
in treatment and in the use of drugs become necessary. The reader is
advised to consult carefully the instruction and information material
included in the package insert of each drug or therapeutic agent before
administration. This advice is especially important when using new or
infrequently used drugs. The authors and publisher disclaim any liabili-
ty, loss, injury or damage incurred as a consequence, directly or indi-
rectly, of the use and application of any of the contents of this volume.
