Abstract:	Improved methods for delivering to a patient in need of the drug, while avoiding the occurrence of an adverse side effect known or suspected of being caused by the drug are disclosed.

Embodiments are provided wherein the patients are assigned to risk groups based upon the risk that taking the drug will lead to the side effect, and certain additional information, such as periodic surveys and diagnostic tests probative of the ongoing risk of the side effect developing are obtained before prescriptions for the drug are approved.
