Medical notice and limits of this guide
Content date: 10 November 2026
This guide supports education and follow-up. It does not replace medical consultation, examination or appointments; advice and care plans differ between patients.
General information and your individual plan
- Information is mainly for adults and their families unless stated otherwise. Reading the site alone does not create an individual medical consultation or establish a diagnosis or treatment. Do not transfer doses or preparation plans to a child or another person.
- Suitability depends on diagnosis, age, pregnancy, other conditions, kidney and liver function, and medicine interactions. Do not start, stop or change medicines based on the guide alone. Follow your written individual plan and product leaflet; ask your team to clarify any conflict before acting.
Calculator and preparation instructions
- The calculator organizes a plan already approved by your endoscopy unit. It does not determine suitability for a product or anesthesia and is not a prescription. Enter the actual procedure start time, not arrival time, and check the result against your unit’s instructions. Some appointments and conditions need a tailored plan. Check with the unit if the appointment changes or instructions conflict.
Emergencies and urgent problems
- Warning signs are examples, not an exhaustive list. Do not wait for a message reply for severe symptoms or clear deterioration. In an emergency go to the emergency department immediately or call Saudi Red Crescent on 997. For an urgent problem, the clinic is an option only if open and able to assess you without delay; otherwise use emergency care.
Medical contact and follow-up
- This educational website does not receive medical consultations, reports, prescription requests or appointment requests. Contact your treating facility through its official channels. Website feedback and visit reviews are not medical follow-up channels, are not monitored for urgent care and do not guarantee a reply.
Updates and patient rights
- We aim to keep information accurate and current, but recommendations can change. The guide does not guarantee a treatment outcome or describe every possibility or adverse effect. Check the review date and sources, and report errors or broken links without including medical information in feedback. External resources have their own policies.
- This notice explains the guide’s purpose and limits. It does not exclude liability imposed by applicable law, waive patient rights or remove professional duties of a clinician or healthcare facility. Statutory rights and obligations remain protected.
Editorial and review policy
- Content dates describe the recorded content update, not a new physician sign-off. Design and software releases do not reset clinical review dates. Sources are listed with each guide. Clinical changes require a named clinician’s approval; report a possible error using the guide feedback link without personal medical details.
