Dear all,
We have created a group, see the link below.
This group intends to provide a platform where health care users can find answers to their uncertainties about diseases, treatments and prevention from a team dedicated health care professionals including doctors, dentists and pharmacists – Free of charge! Are you unsure about your state of health or your medical care? Do you find it challenging or inconvenient to get in touch with a health care professional? Then this group is here to help!
Here you can openly ask your questions or initiate a discussion in the group, or if you prefer send your questions privately to DocDentPharm.
In order for as many people as possible to understand, we recommend questions to be in English.
Multiple times per week, the administrative team behind DocDentPharm will go through the questions asked and do our best to provide you with an answer or alternatively give guidance on where and how to seek out additional information. We encourage other health care professionals to actively contribute by answering questions or participating in ongoing discussions in the group.
Importantly, we have to provide the disclaimer that we are in no position to make a diagnosis based on our exchange through the group. To be diagnosed you should visit your doctor or dentist. But if there are aspects of your health care that puzzle you, complex information you’ve found that you would like help with to understand or therapy that seems unclear to you.
We ask for you to be patient in waiting for a response as all administrators of this site have full time jobs and families to attend to. We will do our very best to answer your question as soon as possible.
Comments that are irrelevant to the content of the group or are offensive will be deleted without further notice.
Regards,
Doctor, Dentist and Pharmacist (DocDentPharm).

• Jonas is a licensed pharmacist, with a degree from the University of Copenhagen. He also holds a PhD in analytical chemistry from Swansea University, UK. Currently he educates pharmacy technicians who work at pharmacies all over Denmark. His job is to explain different diseases to the students, what drugs are used to treat these diseases, what is important to advise patients about when taking a specific drug and what patients can do to alleviate their disease beyond taking medicine. He would like to make that knowledge public. He believes that disseminating this knowledge could help people worldwide to improve their life quality, prevent hospitalisations and potentially save lives. That is why he has dedicated himself to make information about health and diseases public, to make it accessible and easy to understand. There is a lot of information on the internet and we will help you navigate in this jungle by doing our best to help you.
