Preparation
Contributions, in the English language only, should be typed double-spaced and single-sided on A4 paper and should be numbered consecutively beginning with the title page. Where appropriate, the paper should be organized into the following sections: Abstract, Tables, Illustrations, Legends and Text.
Title page

Name, address, telephone, fax, and if available E-mail address of the author responsible for correspondence, the category for which the manuscript is being submitted (review, research paper, clinical note, etc.) should be provided.
Abstracts
The abstracts should provide a brief background: the aims, method, results and conclusions reached should be described. Abstracts of reviews and of clinical notes should focus on the main topic.
Tables
Each table should be typed double-spaced on A4 paper with a separate sheet for every table. The tables should be numbered consecutively with Roman numerals (e.g. Table IV) but should not be given a page number. The caption should appear above the material and units in which the results are expressed should (where appropriate) appear in parentheses at the top of each column.
Figures
Figures, in a form suitable for reproduction, should be submitted as original drawings in black ink, or as high-contrast, sharp unmounted photographs on glossy paper. Lettering on figures should be proportional to the size of the figure to ensure legibility after reduction. The appropriate figure(s) will be referred to in the text using Arabic numbers (e.g. Fig. 3). All figures will have an appropriate legend and these will be typed (in numerical order) on a separate sheet of paper at the end of the typescript.

The BP generic names of drugs will be used, but the appropriate proprietary name may be added in brackets when it is first mentioned. Oxford English spelling is preferred and the 24-hour clock used for reporting times.
