Thanks for responding Renee,
As you can see, though, I did ask these questions (both online through a
form and over their automated phone system) and they haven't responded
yet. They don't have (or don't give out) a phone number to call and
speak to someone directly. I was just getting impatient and wanted to
learn some about this drug on my own. If they had given me these
answers already, I wouldn't have had to post my questions here. But
thanks for trying to help. :)
