Not marrying a cousin is a more potent remedy than many of the medications we prescribe for heart attacks.
For our cases, we prescribed acetaminophen for fever, steroids, antibiotics, bambuterol, aminophylline, ipratropium, mucolytics for pulmonary symptoms, and a mild sedative for sleeping.
In this study, we prescribed pseudoephedrine for cases with nasal congestion or rhinorrhea.
We prescribed treatment for these patients, including 1 who had been taking lifelong prophylactic doxycycline, as reported for a patient with classic Whipple disease (25 ).
We prescribed anidulafungin for suspected invasive candidiasis in a patient with severe liver failure treated with AD and measured the plasma concentrations of the drug using high-performance liquid chromatography.
In these cases, we prescribed amoxicillin/clavulanic acid for an additional week.
We prescribed two diets for each patient: the control diet and the DASH diet.
We considered drugs prescribed for diabetes (glyburide, metformin, insulin) prior to admission, noting that more than half of known diabetics were receiving glyburide (Table 1).
We prescribed doxycycline plus rifampin for 3 laboratory workers because brucellosis is among the most commonly reported laboratory-acquired bacterial infections and because postexposure prophylaxis is recommended for persons at high risk for exposure (4 ).
We did not remove medicines that we suspected were being prescribed for non-psychological indications, such as the typical antipsychotics that appear to be used primarily as antiemetics, as these prescriptions still represent exposures to a psychotropic medicine from one of the relevant drug classes.
