NOTE:
Some medications listed on the tables above may have many uses/indications. You do not need to include every possible thing that
the medication could be used for- the most common uses are fine. I have filled in some of the boxes to get you started. You should
use reliable resources to complete the table; many of the public resources found online will not give you enough information about
the nutritional implications for the drug(s) in question.
