We correct errors quickly and visibly. This page explains what counts as a correction, how to report one and exactly what we do when you have.
If we publish something that was wrong when we published it, we correct the article and note the correction on it, dated. We would rather carry a visible correction than a quiet edit, because the note is what lets a reader who acted on the earlier version know to look again. Trivial fixes that do not change meaning, spelling, formatting and broken links, are made silently.
A rule misstated, a figure wrong, a requirement attributed to the wrong regulator, a date or fee incorrect at the time of publication.
Content that was already out of date when published. Guidance that changed after publication is handled as an update instead: the article is revised and the last-review date refreshed, per the editorial standards.
A source misquoted or a claim referenced to a document that does not support it.
Email hello@pharma.wiki with the article title, the passage in question, what you believe is wrong and, if you can, the source that shows it. Reports from readers working in the field are exactly how a resource like this stays accurate, and we treat them as a service, not a nuisance.
We aim to acknowledge within a few working days. The report is checked against primary sources by the editor or the article's author; if the content is wrong we fix it and add a dated correction note to the article, and if we believe it is right we reply explaining why, with the sources. If you disagree with that outcome, say so and it goes back to the editor for a final view.
We cannot answer questions about your own medicines or treatment, and nothing sent to this address creates a professional relationship. If you have questions about your own medication, speak to your pharmacist or GP; for urgent medical help use NHS 111, or 999 in an emergency.
