Given continuous, rapid
advances in medical science and health information, independent professional
verification of medical diagnoses, indications, appropriate pharmaceutical
selections and dosages, and treatment options should be made and healthcare
professionals should consult a variety of sources. When prescribing medication,
healthcare professionals are advised to consult the product information sheet
(the manufacturer's package insert) accompanying each drug to verify, among
other things, conditions of use, warnings and side effects and identify any
changes in dosage schedule or contradictions, particularly if the medication to
be administered is new, infrequently used or has a narrow therapeutic range. To
