  • Do not post about specific drugs, medications, treatments, therapies or medical devices

3. RULES OF COMMENTING

  • As COR2ED works within a regulated industry, we cannot engage in discussion about specific medicines, treatments or products
  • COR2ED respects the rights of Social Media users to voice their views and opinions. However, we reserve the right to not respond to or to remove comments that we consider to be inappropriate, abusive, promotional, or that share misinformation that may pose a risk to other Social Media users. We have zero tolerance to any comments that are violent/abusive/threatening and these will be removed

4. PHARMACOVIGILANCE

  • Social Media (including all COR2ED Social Media posts and channels) is not the correct place to report medication side effects or reactions
  • If you believe that you or someone else has experienced side effects or reactions from any medication or treatment, you should immediately contact your doctor, pharmacist or other healthcare professional
  • Alternatively, you can report medication side effects via your government’s official reporting systems
