Medical disclaimer

Light Years is educational information and a personal record-keeping tool. It is not medical advice.

  • It never recommends a dose, a medication, or starting, stopping, switching or stretching a treatment.
  • Trends, goal windows, check-ins and summaries are calculations from the numbers you enter. They describe your logs; they do not diagnose, explain causes, or measure whether a treatment is working.
  • Guides describe public information such as approvals, reported prices and plan rules, dated and sourced. They do not say whether you qualify for coverage or whether a request will be approved.
  • Using Light Years does not create a clinician–patient relationship.

Your care team decides

Decisions about your medication belong with your prescriber and pharmacist. Read the product monograph or patient information that comes with your medication, and ask them about anything here that applies to you.

Emergencies

If you think you are having a medical emergency, call 911 (in Canada and the United States) or your local emergency number. Do not rely on Light Years for urgent concerns.
