Please CHECK BACK SHORTLY

Risk/benefit analysis. Obtaining informed consent. Avoiding polypharmacy. Proper lab monitoring, when necessary. Treating identified target-symptoms, not diagnostic labels. Considering potential drug-drug interactions. Prudent dose selections, strategic timing of doses, and respecting demographic and lifestyle variables in the context of anticipating the most likely, and problematic, side effects.
