The content was designed for use by current best medical evidence guidelines available in the United. Drug dosages, treatment algorithms, and general medical practice may vary in other countries. It is the responsibility of the user to confirm the accuracy of all content. The user is advised to consult additional references before making any clinical decisions. Before administration of any drug, it is recommended to review manufacturer’s current product information for accepted indications, dosages, adverse effects, contraindications, and any other information pertinent to appropriate use.
