Thanks, Wynn. I should have thought about the possibility that not everyone would recognize the PDR abbreviation. Guess I'll add that one to the Glossary.
Lars, there are a lot of differences between how meds are handled in the US vs. Europe. You folks over there very often have drugs approved years before we can get them here, mostly due to the way our FDA (Food and Drug Administration, the government agency that must approve all drugs prior to sale) requires the drug companies to test them and so on. I'm not surprised that the package inserts might very likely be different also.
