Medical Disclaimer
The health and medical information published by Japan Medical is for general education and information. It is not personalized medical advice, diagnosis, treatment, or a substitute for care from a qualified healthcare professional.
General Information Only
Educational content is not medical advice
Nothing on this website should be used as a substitute for consultation, examination, diagnosis, treatment, monitoring, or follow-up by an appropriately qualified healthcare professional.
Medical information may be useful when preparing questions or understanding terminology, but it should not be treated as an individualized recommendation for a particular patient.
No Doctor-Patient Relationship
Contact does not create a clinical relationship
Reading pages, guides, or policy information does not create a doctor-patient relationship.
Contacting Japan Medical through WhatsApp, LINE, or another coordination channel does not by itself create a doctor-patient relationship.
Submitting medical records for administrative coordination does not mean Japan Medical has clinically assessed or accepted the patient.
A separate clinical relationship may arise between a patient and an independent medical provider according to that provider’s procedures and applicable law.
Do Not Change Treatment Based on This Website
Important treatment decisions require qualified medical advice
Do not stop care
Do not stop, delay, or materially change necessary medical care based only on information published on this website.
Do not self-prescribe
Do not start or change medication, cancer treatment, surgery, rehabilitation, diabetes care, cardiovascular care, fertility treatment, or another intervention solely because of website content.
Seek individual assessment
A qualified healthcare professional who understands the patient’s history, examination findings, and current condition should assess important medical decisions.
Regenerative Medicine and Cell Therapy
Availability is not the same as PMDA approval
Regenerative medicine and cell-based treatment information requires careful interpretation. A treatment being available in Japan, appearing in a registry, or being provided under a particular legal or regulatory framework should not automatically be interpreted as meaning that a regenerative medical product has received PMDA marketing approval.
Japan’s jRCT publishes information connected with the Clinical Trials Act and the Act on the Safety of Regenerative Medicine. PMDA separately publishes information about approved regenerative medical products.
Official references: Japan Registry of Clinical Trials and PMDA approved product information.
Research Evidence Has Different Strengths
A study result is not an individual prediction
Laboratory and animal research
Preclinical findings can support scientific investigation but do not by themselves demonstrate a clinical benefit in humans.
Case reports and small studies
These may describe important observations but can have major limitations and may not show what would happen in a broader patient population.
Controlled clinical studies
Comparison groups, randomization, endpoints, sample size, follow-up, and study quality affect how strongly a result can be interpreted.
Systematic evidence and guidance
Systematic reviews, clinical guidelines, and regulatory assessments may provide broader context but still require application to the individual patient.
Individual outcomes
Age, diagnosis, disease stage, prior treatment, general health, treatment protocol, and other factors can materially affect outcomes.
No Guaranteed Outcomes
Medical care always involves uncertainty
Emergency Situations
Japan Medical is not an emergency service
If you have severe breathing difficulty, chest pain, loss of consciousness, signs of stroke, severe bleeding, a severe allergic reaction, or another potentially life-threatening condition, seek emergency medical assistance immediately.
Do not wait for a response from Japan Medical through WhatsApp, LINE, or the website.
