Medicine is an ever-changing science. Research and clinical experience are continually expanding our knowl-
edge, in particular our understanding of proper treatment and drug therapy. The authors, editors, and pub-
lisher have made every effort to ensure that all information in this book is in accordance with the state of
knowledge at the time of production of the book. Nevertheless, the authors, editors, and publisher are not
responsible for errors or omissions or for any consequences from application of the information in this book
and make no warranty, expressed or implied, with respect to the contents of the publication. Every reader
should examine carefully the package inserts accompanying each drug and should carefully check whether
the dosage schedules mentioned therein or the contraindications stated by the manufacturer differ from the
statements made in this book. Such examination is particularly important with drugs that are either rarely
used or have been newly released on the market.
