INDICATIONS AND USAGE
To reduce the development of drug-resistant bacteria and maintain the effectiveness of cefdinir and other antibacterial drugs, cefdinir should be used only to treat or prevent infections that are proven or strongly suspected to be caused by susceptible bacteria. When culture and susceptibility information are available, they should be considered in selecting or modifying antibacterial therapy. In the absence of such data, local epidemiology and susceptibility patterns may contribute to the empiric selection of therapy.
Cefdinir capsules are indicated for the treatment of patients with mild to moderate infections caused by susceptible strains of the designated microorganisms in the conditions listed below.
Adults and Adolescents
Community-Acquired Pneumonia caused by Haemophilus influenzae (including -lactamase producing strains), Haemophilus parainfluenzae (including -lactamase producing strains), Streptococcus pneumoniae (penicillin-susceptible strains only), and Moraxella catarrhalis (including -lactamase producing strains) (see
CLINICAL STUDIES
).
Acute Exacerbations of Chronic Bronchitis caused by Haemophilus influenzae (including -actamase producing strains), Haemophilus parainfluenzae (including -lactamase producing strains), Streptococcus pneumoniae (penicillin-susceptible strains only), and Moraxella catarrhalis (including -lactamase producing strains).

Pediatric Useand
DOSAGE AND ADMINISTRATION
.

INDICATIONS AND USAGE
Carefully consider the potential benefits and risks of ketorolac tromethamine tablets, USP and other treatment options before deciding to use ketorolac tromethamine tablets. Use the lowest effective dose for the shortest duration consistent with individual patient treatment goals.

The total combined duration of use of ketorolac tromethamine-IV/IM and ketorolac tromethamine tablets is not to exceed 5 days of use because of the potential of increasing the frequency and severity of adverse reactions associated with the recommended doses (see WARNINGS, PRECAUTIONS, DOSAGE AND ADMINISTRATION and ADVERSE REACTIONS).

INDICATIONS AND USAGE
Benzphetamine hydrochloride tablets, USP are indicated in the management of exogenous obesity as a short term (a few weeks) adjunct in a regimen of weight reduction based on caloric restriction in patients with an initial body mass index (BMI) of 30 kg/m2 or higher who have not responded to appropriate weight reducing regimen (diet and/or exercise) alone. Below is a chart of Body Mass Index (BMI) based on various heights and weights. BMI is calculated by taking the patient's weight, in kilograms (kg), divided by the patient's height, in meters (m), squared. Metric conversions are as follows: pounds 2.2 = kg; inches
0.0254 = meters. The limited usefulness of agents of this class (See
CLINICAL PHARMACOLOGY) should be weighed against possible risks inherent in their use such as those described below.
Benzphetamine hydrochloride tablets, USP are indicated for use as monotherapy only.
