Terms & Conditions of Use

Merck KGaA offers products and services to diagnose, prevent and treat disease. Its prescription medicines for use by healthcare professionals are regulated by government agencies in each of the countries in which it does business, such as the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) in the United States (U.S.) or the European Agency for the Evaluation of Medicinal Products (EMEA) in the United Kingdom. These regulations often restrict the prescribing information that can be disclosed to the public so that you need to consult with your health care professional.
