Medical disclaimer

Purpose of this website

The information on this website is provided for general medical education and does not replace individual medical examination, diagnosis or treatment. It is addressed to a general audience and does not constitute a treatment recommendation for any individual case.

What this content cannot do

No text on this website can do what a personal medical consultation does. In particular:

• No history is taken, no physical examination and no diagnostic work is carried out
• Pre-existing conditions, medications, allergies and individual risk factors remain unknown
• No dosages or treatment schedules for individual cases are given
• No doctor-patient relationship arises between you and the author

Prescription-only medicines

Prescription medicines may be used only following medical consultation, prescription and counselling. Obtaining and using them without medical supervision can carry considerable health risks and is legally problematic.

Aesthetic treatments

Descriptions of aesthetic treatments are provided as information ahead of a consultation. Whether a treatment is suitable in an individual case can be assessed only after personal examination by an appropriately qualified professional. This website does not advertise specific providers and does not arrange treatments.

Currency of the information

Medical knowledge changes. The content reflects the state of knowledge at the review date stated in each case. Despite careful research, no guarantee can be given as to completeness and accuracy. Corrections are explicitly welcome.

Independence

This website contains no paid product recommendations and no hidden advertising. Should an economic connection to a discussed product or provider arise in future, it will be disclosed in the article concerned.

Information on costs

Any price ranges given are rough orientation values with no claim to being current or complete. They do not constitute a price recommendation and establish no entitlement towards any provider.
