About the notes
Who writes these
Our own clinicians, about one a month, on whatever question has come up most often in clinic that month. Nobody is paid to write them and nothing on this page is sponsored by anybody.
They are general information rather than medical advice. If something here sounds like you, that is a good reason to book an appointment and a bad reason to change a medicine you are already taking.
