In addition to this, constant changes in information resulting from continuing research and clinical experience, reasonable differences in opinions among authorities, unique aspects of individual clinical situations, and the possibility of human error in preparing such an extensive text require that the reader exercise individual judgment when making a clinical decision and, if necessary, consult and compare information from other sources. In particular, the reader is advised to check the product information currently provided by the manufacturer of any drug products before prescribing or administering it, especially if the drug is unfamiliar or is used infrequently.
