When seeking medical information, it is important to be careful choosing a Web site. Drug companies sponsor many medical sites. This does not mean that they are bad, but it is something to think about, especially when considering treatment options. Other sites may belong to proponents of unorthodox therapies. Think about how these may fit into your health agenda.
Sites produced by medical schools, universities, and government agencies are good places to start.
Look for the date of the last revision. Medical information changes rapidly. Old information is less useful and may even be dangerous. Look at the sources used. Be sure to check with a librarian for more information about your subject.
