Medical Disclaimer

Read this carefully. Use of the platform constitutes acceptance.
The information provided by Myto Intelligence is for educational and informational purposes only. It is not a substitute for professional medical advice, diagnosis, or treatment. The platform does not establish a clinician-patient relationship, does not constitute a clinical consultation, and does not replace clinical judgment.
1. Educational reference only
Myto Intelligence is a curated educational reference tool intended for use by licensed clinicians as a starting point for evidence gathering when patients ask about plant alternatives or interactions with prescription medications. Content on the platform summarizes published research, traditional-use records, and regulatory documents. It does not:
- Diagnose, treat, cure, or prevent any disease or condition
- Recommend specific therapies, dosing, or treatment protocols for any individual
- Replace independent clinical evaluation, examination, or judgment
- Constitute a medical device under FDA regulations
- Constitute clinical decision-support software requiring FDA clearance
- Establish standard of care for any condition
2. Use is professional, not consumer
The platform is intended for use by licensed clinicians (MD, DO, NP, PA, ND, PharmD, RN, and equivalent credentials) operating within the scope of their professional licenses. The platform is not designed for direct patient or consumer use. If you are a patient or consumer:
Do not use this platform to make decisions about your own health or medications. Do not start, stop, or change any medication based on information you encounter here. Speak with a qualified clinician about any medical concern. Plant-medication interactions can be serious, and individual circumstances matter — what is educational reference for a clinician is not safe self-direction for a patient.
3. Pharmacology and evidence limitations
Pharmacology, drug-interaction, and botanical-evidence content is synthesized from published sources under reasonable care. Despite our best efforts:
- Errors, omissions, or outdated information are possible. The literature evolves; what is accurate today may be superseded tomorrow.
- Evidence tier assignments (A through G) are judgment calls informed by published study quality, not absolute determinations of clinical effectiveness.
- Drug-interaction severity ratings (LOW / MODERATE / HIGH) are based on published case reports, mechanism plausibility, and clinical pharmacology principles. Individual patient response varies.
- Coverage gaps exist and are acknowledged. The dataset is not exhaustive of all medications or all plants.
- Verify any specific claim independently before relying on it for clinical decisions affecting a patient.
4. No emergency use
The platform is not designed for use in medical emergencies. If you or someone else is experiencing a medical emergency, call your local emergency services (911 in the United States) or go to the nearest emergency room. Poison control: 1-800-222-1222 (United States).
5. Plants are not always benign
Plants and herbal preparations can have meaningful pharmacological effects, drug interactions, and toxicities. Several entries in our dataset carry HIGH-severity interaction warnings with prescription medications. The platform makes these warnings prominent because the popular "natural therefore safe" framing is frequently wrong. Clinical evaluation of any plant-medication combination remains the prescriber's responsibility.
6. Regulatory framing
The platform does not make claims that any plant or herbal preparation diagnoses, treats, cures, or prevents any disease. Such claims, when made about specific products, are reserved for drugs approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) and analogous foreign regulatory bodies. Citations to research investigating plant compounds for various indications are presented as research has investigated framing, not as endorsements or claims.
7. Acknowledgment
By accessing the platform you acknowledge that you have read and understood this Medical Disclaimer, that you are using the platform as a licensed clinician (or in another professional capacity for which the platform is intended), and that you accept full professional responsibility for any clinical decisions you make.
