- Should not be used to self-diagnose any medical condition
- Should not be used to modify or discontinue any medication or treatment
- May differ from results calculated using different validated formulas or clinical guidelines
3. Always Consult a Healthcare Professional
If you have any questions about a medical condition, symptoms, or treatment, always seek the advice of a qualified healthcare professional. This includes your GP (UK, Australia, New Zealand), primary care physician (USA, Canada), or relevant specialist.
Do not delay seeking professional medical advice, or disregard professional advice you have already received, because of something you read or calculated on WellCalc.
