BUYERS’ GUIDE
I
f knowledge is power, then time is surely money. That’s the idea be-
hind the Podiatry Management Annual Buyers’ Guide. To save you time
by providing you an easy and convenient source of all the major podi-
atric products and services you use in the everyday course of running your
practice.
This year’s guide is divided into two parts. Part I lists company names
alphabetically and provides pertinent address and phone/fax/website infor-
mation, with additional product and/or service data for advertisers in this
special edition.
Part II, which starts on page 163, lists companies or organizations ac-
cording to the type of product or service they provide. Listings in many
cases feature both company/organization and product name; thus, if you’re
looking for Naftin under ‘Pharmaceuticals: Anti-Fungals,’ you can find this
brand name even if you don’t know that Merz is the manufacturer.
Another cross-referencing feature makes it easier for you to find relat-
ed products. For example, if you’re looking in the ‘Orthotics, Prefabricat-
ed’ category, you will also find the cross-reference ‘See also: Insoles, Heel
Supports, and Pads.’
If you have an office manual, we recommend that you photocopy
these pages and add them to your source lists. That way, the next time
you run short of x-rays, for example, you can quickly locate a supplier. In-
cidentally, we encourage you to support these suppliers. Collectively, they
provide the advertising dollars necessary to support magazines such as
this; and many, as well, contribute to podiatric student scholarships and
research.

This Little Piggy Had ONMEL ™
(itraconazole) 200-mg tablets
Provide the efficacy of itraconazole
in a single, once-daily tablet1
Indications and Usage
ONMEL is indicated for the treatment of onychomycosis of the toenail due to Trichophyton rubrum or T. mentagrophytes in
non-immunocompromised patients. Prior to initiating treatment, appropriate nail specimens for laboratory testing (KOH preparation,
fungal culture, or nail biopsy) should be obtained to confirm the diagnosis of onychomycosis.
Important Safety Information for ONMEL
WARNING: CONGESTIVE HEART FAILURE, CARDIAC EFFECTS, AND DRUG INTERACTIONS
Do not administer ONMEL for the treatment of onychomycosis in patients with evidence of ventricular dysfunction
such as congestive heart failure (CHF) or a history of CHF. When itraconazole was administered intravenously to dogs and
healthy human volunteers, negative inotropic effects were seen. If signs or symptoms of congestive heart failure occur during
administration of ONMEL, discontinue administration.
Drug Interactions: Co-administration of cisapride, pimozide, quinidine, dofetilide, levacetylmethadol (levomethadyl),
felodipine, oral midazolam, nisoldipine, triazolam, lovastatin, simvastatin, ergot alkaloids such as dihydroergotamine,
ergometrine (ergonovine), ergotamine and methylergometrine (methylergonovine) or methadone with ONMEL
is contraindicated. ONMEL, a potent cytochrome P450 3A4 isoenzyme system (CYP3A4) inhibitor, may increase plasma
concentrations of drugs metabolized by this pathway. Serious cardiovascular events, including QT prolongation, torsades de pointes,
ventricular tachycardia, cardiac arrest, and/or sudden death have occurred in patients using cisapride, pimozide, levacetylmethadol
(levomethadyl), methadone or quinidine concomitantly with itraconazole and/or other CYP3A4 inhibitors.
Please see Important Safety Information included in accompanying
full Prescribing Information for ONMEL, including BOXED WARNING.
