PlusGBUK provides general educational information about medicines, psychoactive substances, health, harm reduction and related subjects. It is not a medical service and the information on this website is not a substitute for individual advice, diagnosis or treatment from a qualified healthcare professional.
No personal diagnosis or treatment
Health decisions depend on details that a general web page cannot assess, including medical history, age, pregnancy, allergies, current symptoms, other medicines, dose, timing and substance use. Do not use PlusGBUK to diagnose yourself or another person, start or stop prescribed treatment, or change a prescribed dose without appropriate professional advice.
Medicines and unidentified substances
Information about a named medicine or substance does not establish what an unknown product contains. Colour, shape, logo, packaging, taste or appearance cannot reliably confirm identity, purity or strength. Unregulated products may contain different substances or amounts from those expected.
Emergencies
If someone may be seriously ill, unconscious, having difficulty breathing, having a seizure, experiencing severe chest pain, showing signs of a life-threatening reaction or otherwise needs emergency help, use the emergency service for the country you are in rather than relying on this website.
In the UK, call 999 for a life-threatening emergency. NHS 111 can help with urgent medical problems that are not life-threatening. In the EU, 112 connects callers to emergency services. In the United States, call 911 for an emergency; for a possible poisoning, the US Poison Control service can be reached at 1-800-222-1222.
