Notice

Acknowledgments: We remain indebted to Carolyn Wickwire for her outstanding preparation of the manuscript, which this year you may recognize as totally reformatted to include dosages in Table 1. We also thank the staff of Gateway Graphics for prompt, accurate printing and the staff at Fox Bindery for similarly prompt, accurate binding and delivery.

Some of the recommendations in the Guide suggest use of agents for purposes or in dosages other than recommended in product labeling. Such recommendations are based upon reports in peer-reviewed publications, usually more recent, and/or common usage. They are made only with due consideration of the concerns by the Food and Drug Administration about recommendations for “off-label” uses. They are made without direct input from any of the pharmaceutical manufacturers. We have attempted to identify such as “not FDA-approved for this indication.”

In accordance with American Medical Association guidelines and Food and Drug Administration Regulations, as a user you need to know that the Guide is not prepared for any single pharmaceutical company or distributor. In the United States and Canada it is distributed by multiple pharmaceutical companies and others in the health care field. The Guide is not subject to any form of approval prior to publication. Neither Antimicrobial Therapy, Inc. nor JPS receives reimbursement related to the Guide other than from sales. Further, JPS is not and has not been a funded investigator for any antimicrobial agents since 1974.
