Content and site availability disclaimers
Every effort is taken to ensure that the information published on this website is
accurate and kept up to date in terms of current medical knowledge. However, whilst
we only accept information from respected sources we cannot guarantee that all of
the information displayed is accurate or complete, nor can we guarantee that it
will be suitable for a user's individual circumstances. This website is therefore
provided for information only. It is not intended to replace a consultation with
an appropriately qualified medical practitioner.
Documents published on the eMC are as regulated by the MHRA or EMA. It is the responsibility
of the Marketing Authorisation Holder (MAH) to check that their documents are correct
and up to date. If Datapharm becomes aware of an error in a regulated document,
it informs the MAH. Normally the MAH will re-submit a corrected document to the
MHRA or EMA for approval but this is at their sole discretion. If we are asked
by the MAH to update the eMC in advance of the new document gaining MHRA or EMA
approval we will do so. If we are made aware that advice, warnings or guidance has
been issued from the MHRA, EMA or other competent authority which relates to the
content of documents on the eMC we will use all reasonable efforts to include a hyperlink from that document to
the relevant information on the website of the authority issuing the advice, warning
or guidance and inform the MAH that we have done so. The absence of any such hyperlink
does not mean that no advice, warning, or guidance has ever been given and users
are advised to check with the MAH to ensure the document is up to date.
The inclusion of third party articles or reports in the Regulatory News section
of the site or elsewhere does not imply any endorsement of the contents thereof
by Datapharm.
Datapharm does not accept responsibility for any loss, damage or injury that arises
from the use of this website except to the extent that liability cannot be excluded
by law.

this we do the following:
- Host the site within a fully managed solution monitored 24 hours a day, 365 days
a year.
- Use industry standard software for the servers and the website;
- Have well developed security arrangements;
- Have well developed monitoring, maintenance and repair procedures.
In spite of these efforts we cannot guarantee uninterrupted access to this website,
or the sites to which it links. We accept no responsibility for any damages arising
from the loss of use of this information.
