NOTICE
This publication contains information relating to general principles of medical care, which should not be construed as specific instructions for individual patients. It is important to realise that the content cannot always account for individual variations among patients. It should not supplant clinical judgment or clinical microbiology/infectious diseases consultation when indicated. The responsibility for decisions regarding actual patient care rests solely with the physician or medical practitioner treating a patient. We have attempted to verify that all information is correct at the time of publication, but because of ongoing research, things may change. Readers should note that it contains general educational information about drug products that may be investigational or unregistered, and that the registration status of the drug may change. Readers should consider our recommendations in light of the applicable laws and regulations, their local antimicrobial resistance and susceptibility patterns, availability, and variations in formulations of antimicrobial agents. Manufacturers’ product information, package inserts, and peer-reviewed literature should be reviewed for current information, including contraindications, dosages, and precautions.
