An individual should be fully informed by one's own personal physician with regard to any and all complications and contra-indications that might arise as the result of the use of those medications and in conjunction with the possible use of any other medication.
Whenever possible a physician should be consulted prior to the use of any prescription medication. All prescription medications must be administered in accordance with the product literature and all printed instructions.
