IN MEMORIAM

Jay P. Sanford, M.D.

1928-1996

Note: It is with sadness that we note the

death of Jay P. Sanford, M.D., on October

23, 1996. We wish to assure you that the

Sanford Guides will continue to be up-

dated and published on an annual basis

and that we are firmly committed to

maintaining the same high standards of

excellence that typified Dr. Sanford’s ef-

forts over the last 26 years.

Some of the recommendations in the

Sanford Guide suggest use of agents for

purposes or in dosages other than recom-

mended in product labeling. Such recom-

mendations are based on reports in

peer-reviewed publications; they are not

based on direct input from any pharma-

ceutical manufacturer. They are made

only with due consideration of the con-

cerns by the Food and Drug Administra-

tion about recommendations for

“off-label” uses. We have attempted to

identify such as “not FDA-approved for

this indication.”

In accordance with American Medical

Association guidelines and FDA regula-

tions, you, the user, should know that the

Sanford Guide is not prepared for any

single pharmaceutical company or dis-

tributor; though it is distributed by mul-

tiple companies in the health care field,

the Sanford Guide is independently pre-

pared and published. It is not subject to

any form of approval prior to publication.

We acknowledge Carolyn Wickwire for

her continued commitment to preparing

this complex manuscript, Gateway

Graphics for its efficient printing and Fox

Bindery for accurate binding of the

Sanford Guides.
