The authors, editors, and publisher have conscientiously and carefully tried to ensure that recommended measures and drug dosages
in these pages are accurate and conform to the standards that prevailed at the time of publication. The reader is advised, however, to
check the product information sheet accompanying each drug to be familiar with any changes in the dosage schedule or in the contra-
indications. This advice should be taken with particular seriousness if the agent to be administered is a new one or one that is infre-
quently used. Board Review from Medscape describes basic principles of diagnosis and therapy. Because of the uniqueness of each patient and
the need to take into account a number of concurrent considerations, however, this information should be used by physicians only as a general
guide to clinical decision making.
Board Review from Medscape is derived from the ACP Medicine CME program, which is accredited by the University of Alabama School of
Medicine and Medscape, both of whom are accredited by the ACCME to provide continuing medical education for physicians. Board Review
from Medscape is intended for use in self-assessment, not as a way to earn CME credits.
