I have seen all manner of medications taken on a PRN basis. So the table is still at the basic level of considering information about the medications.George Dawson, MD, DFAPAhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03474899831557543486noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7772182113499451603.post-26880033951741282472014-05-15T21:17:17.151-05:002014-05-15T21:17:17.151-05:00You have my apologies.
