Medical and emergency notice

Do not delay or disregard professional medical care because of something read on TVL Health. If you may be experiencing a medical emergency, contact the emergency service available where you are.

General information, not medical advice

TVL Health publishes news, commentary and educational material for a general audience. Content is not intended to diagnose a condition, recommend an individual treatment, prescribe a medicine or establish a clinician-patient relationship.

Symptoms, risks and suitable care differ between people. Ask an appropriately qualified professional who can consider your medical history and circumstances before changing treatment, medicines, diet or activity.

Accuracy, evidence and changing information

We aim to present information clearly and correct confirmed errors, but no publication can promise that every page is complete, current or free from error. Research evolves, official guidance changes and older articles may not reflect later evidence.

Dates, jurisdictions, sample sizes and study limitations matter. A single study or personal story should not be treated as proof that an intervention is safe or effective for everyone.

Your decisions and safety

  • Check medicine, supplement and treatment questions with a qualified healthcare professional.
  • Consider allergies, pregnancy, age, disability, existing conditions and medicine interactions before acting on general advice.
  • Use suitable professional guidance for exercise, nutrition, mental health, beauty procedures and travel risks.
  • Never share urgent or highly sensitive medical information through our public contributor or general contact tools.

Contributors, quotations and opinion

Some articles are submitted by contributors. Views, experiences and quotations attributed to an author or source are their own and do not automatically represent TVL Health, The Viral Lines or the organisations mentioned.

A byline, job title or contributor profile should not be read as a guarantee of medical qualification. Clinical review applies only when an article explicitly identifies the reviewer and their role.

Advertising, products and commercial references

Advertising, sponsored material or affiliate relationships should be labelled when present. Payment or a commercial relationship does not turn a product claim into medical evidence.

Mentioning a product, service, clinic, professional or organisation is not an endorsement or warranty. Readers should independently assess suitability, licensing, claims, price, availability and local rules.

Liability and corrections

To the extent permitted by applicable law, use of the site and reliance on its general information are at the reader’s own risk. Nothing here excludes rights or liabilities that cannot legally be excluded.

To report a factual error, send the page URL, the specific statement and supporting source through the contact page. We assess correction requests on their merits.
