Whilst the advice and information in this book are believed to be true and
accurate at the date of going to press, neither the authors nor the publisher
can accept any legal responsibility or liability for any errors or omissions
that may be made. In particular (but without limiting the generality of the
preceding disclaimer) every effort has been made to check drug dosages;
however it is still possible that errors have been missed. Furthermore,
dosage schedules are constantly being revised and new side effects
recognized. For these reasons the reader is strongly urged to consult the
drug companies’ printed instructions before administering any of the drugs
recommended in this book.

Dedication
This volume is dedicated to our wives, partners and families, without whose unstinting
support this work could not have taken place. They have endured countless nights and
weekends as ‘book windows’, and we thank them for their tolerance and forebearance.
We also wish to acknowledge the professional support and advice of a huge number of col-
leagues who have given of their own time to offer advice and help in the preparation of the
twelfth edition. This has truly been a team effort.
