Note:
- Where no dosage form is indicated, the strengths refer to one or both of the most common dosage forms: tablets or capsules. Other dosage forms are noted in an abbreviated format (e.g., CH = chewable tablets, crm = cream, MDI = metered dose inhaler). Refer to the Abbreviations list below for a complete list of dosage form abbreviations.
- Units are provided to indicate available dosage strengths, with the exception of “mg”, as it is the most commonly used unit. Availability of injectable dosage forms are indicated by inclusion of the corresponding route abbreviations (e.g., SC, IM, IV). However, strengths or concentrations are not specified for injectable dosage forms due to space constraints.
