Isomers - correction

  • Andrew Somogyi

Letter to the Editor

Editor, – I need to inform readers of a correction to the article 'Inside the isomers: the tale of chiral switches' (Aust Prescr 2004;27:109-13). On page 47 under Introduction, I cited salmeterol as a single enantiomer drug, however, it is currently marketed as the racemate - noting that the R enantiomer is the active species.
