I have reverse-engineered what

        $<current_meds_notes::latex>$ 

needs to return. Currently, it yields a \small line labelled

        Additional notes

below which it supplies data from 3 medication columns

        Substance, Strength, Brand

Two problems are observed in the currenlty-substituted template (see below 
CURRENT vs NEEDED).

1) Basically, in order to define a three-column table so as to allow its first 
and third column contents to wrap, they need the following form wherein I have 
assigned those two columns a width because the option

        p{width}

requires that {width} be specified and for this case I suggest 6.5 cm.

in which the first and third columns need the majority of the available width 
and – even despite the accommodation – still need to paragraph-wrap, what we 
need the placeholder to return is a table format

        \noindent address@hidden|p{6.5cm}|l|p{6.5cm}|}

not

        \noindent \begin{tabular}{|l|l|l|l|}

2) we also need to get rid of the empty

        & {\scriptsize }

at the end of each row.

Appended are shots of:

- the "before" output extending to the right page edge and still being out of 
view, vs
- the "after" output (resulting from my direct substitution of what is needed 
in the .tex instance)
