Regarding English translations: In medical communication, even a minor nuance error in translation can lead to severe medical accidents.

To prioritize patient safety and prevent any alteration of information caused by secondary translations, we handle only the manufacturer's original Japanese text as the sole official and authentic document. We do not provide in-house translations to ensure the absolute integrity of the medical data provided by the pharmaceutical companies.
