Anyone searching online for information about medicines or vaccines is confronted with an overwhelming amount of websites, social media posts, videos and, increasingly, AI-generated content. The real challenge is knowing which information can be trusted.
With the launch of Medicijncheck.nl, the Dutch Medicines Evaluation Board (CBG) has made independent and science-based information about medicines and vaccines more accessible to the public. The website provides easy-to-understand information on medicines, vaccines, safe use, side effects, interactions and frequently asked questions. It also addresses topics such as why some medicines require a prescription, what vaccines contain and common questions about hormone-containing contraceptives.
In a world where accurate information, misinformation and half-truths often appear side by side, access to evidence-based medicine information is more important than ever.
Together with other trusted sources of patient information, Medicijncheck.nl helps people make better-informed decisions about medicines and vaccines.
