Rules for publishing reviews and visitor questions

Publication in the References and Questions on the use of medicines and the answers of doctors were and will remain free. Your question may remain unanswered, and the response may be rejected:

1. Questions - with registration, feedback - without registration. On the site there is a free registration of visitors who want to not just leave a review about a particular drug (this can be done without registration), but also ask a doctor-consultant about the mechanism of action, the therapeutic effect, indications, contra-indications and side effects, which renders the medicine and receive the answer of a specialist. All unregistered visitors receive answers to their questions on the residual principle, if there is a willingness of the consultant or the question is really of interest to a wide audience.

This means that you need to spend two minutes for the simplest registration on the siteto get the answer to your question GUARANTEED. Do not neglect this important rule. There are a lot of questions and to cut off the visitors who are not interested in the answers and this condition has been introduced.

2. Non-related questions. Ask your questions on the pages of drugs, the answers to which you want to see. If you ask a question about Amlodipine, then leave this question on Amlodipine, but not Lysinopril. If there are several drugs in the question - leave the question on the page of any drug or the one that is most incomprehensible to you in your treatment regimen.

3. Complicated cases without full consultation. Indeed, complicated cases without primary internal consultation with a doctor are practically impossible for parsing. Suppose a person has meningitis, or oncology, or any other life-threatening condition. He refuses to be treated by a doctor and immediately turns to consultants on the Internet. This is a WRONG approach. We give advice on the treatment already prescribed by a specialist (unless it is a common cold or some other primitive state, when it is clear from the question that life and health are not threatened) and only so.A philistine without a special medical education can not always correctly diagnose, and only an irresponsible specialist can prescribe to him remotely, and most likely it will not be a doctor. So if you have any health problems, contact your doctor to take the necessary diagnostic minimum of the tests, determine the diagnosis and get the initial treatment. With these data it is already possible to apply for remote advice.

4. Sale of drugs through the site. Reject any questions and / or reviews that include a reference to the sale of new or started packages of medicines that were purchased by visitors, including through the official pharmacy network. The sale of medicines should be carried out only in the places established for this purpose and through the official pharmacy network. Purchased in other places medicines are regarded by us as counterfeit and counterfeit, that is, which can cause harm to the patient's health. We take such an intolerant attitude and reject such comments. Do not try to do this - it can lead to the ban of your account in the Directory.

5. Veterinary Issues. Dogs, cats, birds and other animals we do not treat. Dosages in tetrapods are completely different and it is not always possible to predict the response of such a patient to human medicine. Ask such questions on specialized sites and forums, in our Directory there are no such specialists.

6. Respect for the consultant. We all once went to school and the basic knowledge of the Russian language passed. So why then in the questions of some visitors on the site is such a terrible illiteracy. Who said that it is fashionable to write illiterately and you can so show your disrespect for people. So much time our consultants spend on bringing your questions into a legible form, dear our visitors, that words can not convey! It's one thing to make a mistake in the name of a medical term or medicine, then, as we say, we are all people, but to write something like this:


or such


other illiterate visitors' letters

No spaces or punctuation, no words ... Such comments also recently sent to the trash, because it is easier to remove than to try to fix it and the most important thing to understand what people want to tell their message. Everyone on computers has text editors that highlight incorrect spelling of words and punctuation marks and all the answers and publications are always sent us through text editors, it's not difficult. We consider illiterate questions and feedback as disrespect for the person who advises you. So excuse me, this is also an excuse not to publish such a bredyatinu.

7. Will a specific drug help me. We, as specialists, are guided first and foremost by instruction, and we can answer whether a particular drug is being used to treat the diseases mentioned in the question, but to say for certain whether this particular drug will help in the treatment of a particular person is difficult. For this purpose, usually the treatment is prescribed, then the patient re-contacts the doctor, tests if necessary or undergoes studies (X-ray, etc.) and, depending on the dynamics, the doctor changes ineffective treatment for another or adjusts the dosage of drugs already used in treatment. But it is almost impossible to track dynamics remotely and we consider this approach as a pest of the patient's health, therefore such questions may remain unanswered or even be published on the site.

Especially often about effectiveness is asked in the context of using antibiotics, but here the scheme is really simple. If the disease is chronic and bacteriologic analysis is sown the causative agent, it is necessary to immediately determine the sensitivity of antibiotics to this pathogen and then treat the disease itself or exacerbation by sensitive agents to this foreign agent.If the disease is acute, we also take a sow with the definition of sensitivity to antibiotics and prescribe empirically antibiotics, which hypothetically can help in the treatment of the alleged disease. During the time of empirical or experimental therapy, we get the results of the sensitivity analysis and can already work with the specifics: either change the therapy, either continue or continue, but adjust the dosage of the drugs if the effect is available, but it is rather weak.

8. Private and complex cases of diseases. This point has something in common with the third paragraph of the rules, but we often do not delete such questions in the Directory, though we honestly write that we can not always answer. After all, we are talking about too private, neglected and difficult cases. For example, a patient of advanced age has 5 diagnoses and treatment prescribed by a doctor of 5 (and sometimes more) drugs. The patient has an additional symptom and he wants to find out whether he should cancel one of the drugs, because he sees this symptom in the side effects in the instructions. It is not always possible to do this remotely (sometimes it is difficult to do it on the internal reception),since an additional symptom may be the cause of a new disease that could be undiagnosed at the time of the appointment of the treatment regimen, or it is a side effect of the drug, and in this case, depending on the severity of the patient's condition, either the dosage of the drug is reduced, or it is canceled for a while, or symptomatic treatment, if there is a certainty that the cause is not in medicines. Remotely, believe me, this is very difficult. We are trying, but if it is not possible to deal with this issue honestly, we write about it in the answer.

9. Hiden advertisment. The most popular item, judging by the impressive blacklist of drugs, whose owners and / or marketers abuse the openness and loyalty of our Directory to visitors and try to place advertising reviews, including under the pretext of satisfied consumers of these medicines. The site work consultants who lead column in blogs, on the advice of other medical forums and sites, and well see a flurry of similar in nature and advertising on the content of these reviews. Similar comments on the site are rejected, and the persons placing them receive a ban, without the possibility of publishing any reviews on the site.My dear advertisers, your actions are primitive, you have no respect for your unwinding drugs and you are not able to competently advertise. We have understood this for a long time and do not try to repeat the mistakes of our colleagues. Even you do not always treat them with respect, when you try to smear drugs competitors and simultaneously advertise your pills on the pages of drugs of these same competitors, all of this is also tracked and punished by us. We have a resource for real people, not robots or customized advertising. Do not waste your budgets and human resources. The Internet is full of garbage, which will gladly accept your advertising feedback, including for money. We are principled in matters of advertising comrades.

Also we advise not to abuse feedback form, as well as withdrawals and suggestions about the work of the site (moving slider to the right of the screen). These options are designed for technical questions about the site's operation or advertising issues. Consultations on e-mail, we do not and do not answer. Ask all your questions for specific drugs directly on the site. Many people want to see the answers to them and this is useful for our visitors.We do not publish your contact details or real names in the answers. Everything is consistent with the principles of medical secrecy and the right to privacy. Do not be shy, here all your :)
