Medical disclaimer

A guide to using these resources

General education

Website information does not replace a medical evaluation, diagnosis or treatment from a qualified professional who knows your situation. Reading a page or sending a website request does not by itself establish a clinician–patient relationship.

Your care is personal

Your clinician considers your history, goals and medical needs when recommending treatment. Research findings describe the people and treatments studied; they are not a prediction of your results or a report of EndoMD outcomes.

Medicine decisions

Approved uses vary by medicine, age, diagnosis and formulation. Review the prescribing information with your clinician, and ask before changing or stopping a prescribed medicine.

When you need care

Do not postpone medical care because of something you read online. This website and its forms are not emergency services. For a medical emergency, call 911.
