      Although  the  author  has  taken  reasonable  steps  to  ensure the
      accuracy of the drug information included in MedTxt before  release,
      drug  data  may change without notice and all readers are advised to
      consult  the  manufacturer's  packaging  inserts  before prescribing
      medications.
      
      Every attempt has been made  to  accurately  summarize  the  medical
      topics  included in MedTxt.  However, since medical information is a
      constantly changing field, medical data in MedTxt may not be current
      and transcription errors are  always  a possiblity.  Because of this
      the author cannot guarantee that  all  information  is  accurate  or
      comprehensive, and will assume no responsibility    for the content.
      The  author  disclaims  all  responsibility  for any adverse effects
      resulting  from   inadvertent   errors   in   MedTxt   or  from  any
      misunderstandings that may arise after reading MedTxt.  It is always
      prudent to confirm any information in MedTxt by other means such  as
      reading the original article, other medical textbooks and consulting
      any recent medical literature.  Ultimately, it is the responsibility
      of  the  reader  to determine the best therapy depending on the most
      recent authoritative information available.
